Organiser's Description
Join the Kalkaska Cross Country and Track and Field teams as we present the return of the Wood Memorial Trout Run! The Wood Memorial Trout Run commemorates Chad Wood and his father Stafford. Chad was an avid runner and a youth leader in many ways. Stafford was a collegiate runner and ran countless races and marathons, who was one of Kalkaskas treasured teachers, coaches, and administrators. In their memory, proceeds from the race are used to help fund the Kalkaska High School Cross Country and Track and Field teams. Staffords grandchildren and Chads niece and nephews have been avid runners; this race is a great way to pay homage to this family that has supported the Kalkaska Community over the years.
EARLY PACKET PICKUP WILL BE ON APRIL 25TH IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL GYM LOBBY FROM 5PM-7PM. Race day checkin starts at 7:00am and ends at 8:15am on April 26th. If you plan to bring a Furry Friend to race with you, please help us keep things tidy. Dogs must remain on-leash at all times and please clean up after them too. We are allowing pets on school grounds this year because there were a lot of requests last year
