Organiser's description
It's the hardest time of the year to stay motivated...but those who grind through reap the rewards when spring racing arrives! Let's help each other to make that happen. Here's the plan:
COURSE:
The plan is simple: Tackle this course knowing it will be brutally hilly (2x up horror hill), with brutal conditions and with the worst being right at the end- how easy will Chilly Half feel after this??
Race it, jog it, tempo it- the choice is yours.Remember: Be safe, race at your own risk, and don't take a risk to save a few seconds. Always run into oncoming traffic. These roads are not closed and this is not a sanctioned race. NEW ADDITION: THE 1 LOOPERFor those who aren't ready for the full 21.1K, we have added the 10.8K 1 lap option. Check out the segment HERE. The prizes won't be quite as exciting, but there will be prizes for this event as well! WHEN
Feb 15th @ 8:30AM
PRIZING:But there is a carrot! Get within 7 minutes of your PB, you get a prize TBA! For the 1 loop option: You get a prize if you are within 2s/K (or faster) of your half marathon PB pace. RESULTS:- Times will be taken from the segment results.- Make sure to start early and end late to hit the segment (finish line is before the Wilby/Wilmot intersection, but it doesn't hurt to jog right up until that point). - Remember to make your activity PUBLIC and to turn off hide start/finish point! WHEN YOU ARE DONE YOUR EVENT, fill out your results HERE.
PARKING:Parking at Costco is the closest parking lot. Parking on Wilby is allowed depending on the snow situation. PHOTOGRAPHY:Will Spaetzel Photography will be there in the flesh to provide your best running picture of 2025 free of charge!
