Hopena began dreaming up this race with his brothers as a way to honor his mentor, Seth. His vision was to create a challenge that would test the body, bring people together, and encourage the next generation. Today, that vision lives on through a run, swim, and paddle that celebrates both men and the way they lived. Whether you race on your own, share the course with a relay, or tackle every leg alongside your team, you are helping carry forward their legacy: show up for one another, give your best, and pay it forward. Choose Your Division Solo Take on all three disciplines—run, swim, and paddle—from start to finish. Challenge yourself, find your rhythm, and see what you can accomplish. Relay Share the challenge with teammates, with each person completing one discipline. Each leg contributes to a shared finish, making this a chance to compete together and cheer one another on. Team Complete the entire course together. Every team member takes on the run, swim, and paddle, supporting one another through each leg and crossing the finish line as a group.

Gobbler 5K & 10K at Independence, MO (48)

Independence, MO
US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help. View Race Course, Results, and Race Information on the US Road Running race page.

The VCTC Pete McArdle 9-mile XC Trail Race

Bronx, NY
Please join us for Van Cortlandt Track Club’s inaugural newly resurrected 9-mile cross-country race honoring Pete McArdle*, a running pioneer who made running history in Van Cortlandt Park and around the world, from his home country in Ireland to the Bronx and beyond. This race has a long history in Van Cortlandt Park. Some of you might know it from the days that it was a 15k put on by NYRR, last staged in 2019. The original race, held in 1958, was actually 9 miles, had only 14 runners, and was won by Pete McArdle. So in the spirit of remembering its humble origins, we are returning to a 9 mile version. The race entails 3 loops of Van Cortlandt Park’s infamous XC course, in the back hills and around the flats. Not for the faint of heart and guaranteed to challenge you—come to relive running history in a new edition of an iconic race! Awards from Lloyd’s Carrot Cake! Commemorative buffs to the first 100 registrants! Post-race gathering at the Tortoise & Hare Pub! When: 9:00 am Saturday , November 28, rain or shine 8:00 am Registration, bib pick up and baggage check opens Please note: this race is on the Saturday of Thanksgiving. There might be some confusion due to an error in a local race schedule brochure and original date of Sunday. It is being held in tandem with the untimed Lettuce Run 5k walk/run to benefit the Friendly Fridge which starts at 10:00 am Where: Van Cortlandt Park, in front of the Tortoise & Hare Statue across from Lloyd’s Carrot Cake and the Tortoise and Hare Pub at 6115 Broadway. Easily accessible by the number 1 subway to 242nd street. Parking can be challenging but often can be found at the Van Cortlandt Stables or Golf Course, short walks away. About Pete McArdle Peter McArdle was an Irish-born athlete who emigrated to the United States in 1956. He soon distinguished himself in his adopted country, competing at distances from the mile to the marathon. At the 1963 Pan American Games, he won gold in the 10,000 meters and bronze in the marathon. The following year, he competed in the marathon at the Tokyo Olympics. After the Olympics, Peter stepped away from running for 19 years. When he returned to running in 1983, he continued to set records in his age group. He trained in Van Cortlandt Park, a place he loved and often said reminded him of his native Ireland. There, during a training run on June 24, 1985, Peter took his last breath. For all his accomplishments, Peter always made time to encourage others in their running.
