In my emails to many of you, I've described the course as a runner's playground, or a runner's roller coaster. I stand by that description.
However, you should know that it's also a course that is both really challenging and really fun to run. You won't be scrambling over rocks, or jumping crevasses, or reaching for tree limbs to hoist you up. Rather, you'll find yourself running like a happy child, only more deftly, through single track pine woods, close-cropped pasture grass, and wide open forest paths that span 6 - 8 feet in width. Plenty of room to hit the accelerator and manage fast and safe descents.
On race day, there will be parking (we've estimated we've got room for about 75-100 cars, but we encourage car-pooling) at the entrance to the farm. Then you'll make your way to the Check-In location which you'll see as you approach the Start/Finish Area. There, we'll have some helpful folks take down your name, age, gender, and race choice (10k or 20k), ask you to kindly fill out a waiver promising not to sue us, and get you a bib.
We've got folks coming in to time the event for us, so we'll have a pretty nice professionally-managed finish line. Ron ("Chief Skinny Legg") Legg will be the Honorary Starter.We'll have some refreshments at the end, but it looks like we might not have the budget for a full-scale picnic style luncheon, so you'd better bring some of your own food, too!
We're going to have more awards information coming soon, but Ron has been working hard to create unique, local awards for Overall Male and Female Winners, Age Graded Male and Female Performances of the Day, and Age Group winners for both races.
Get ready to Run Like a Local, and please let us know if we can answer any questions for you! We hope to put a register link on this website, but for now, please use the Register Now link on the email you received from us. If you need help, just email Jason Burgett at skinnyleggracing@gmail.com and I'll try to help as best as I can.
Thanks so much!
