Races Near Me: Upcoming Running Races

The course begins on the southwest corner of the park with a gradual incline toward the north. The course then winds back toward the start line on trails through a small line of trees. It continues along the service road, where the first mile is at the back end of the parking lot. The course continues through the woods on rolling trails with mile two at a fork in the path. The final 1.2 miles is a near replica of the first, featuring plenty of open space for movement. Overall, the course is rolling with occasional rough footing in the woods, but a picturesque course nonetheless, especially in the fall.

This is a Prediction Run: All runners, regardless of speed have a chance to win a turkey! How do you do it? When you sign up, you will be asked to predict your race finish time. Enter your prediction, then run that time on race day. It's as easy as pie, or in this case turkey! Awards: 25 participants in each event who finish closest to their predicted time will receive a full-sized turkey. Limit one turkey per family. A total of 50 turkeys will be given away at the event! The number of turkeys awarded could be lowered if the number of registered runners is below 200. You must be present to win, we can not hold these frozen birds or deliver them. Special Rules: No watches or timing devices allowed. No splits will be given. No mile markers provided.
