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.

LACE UP FOR A GREATER CAUSE

This year, the Wood Memorial Trout Run is proud to partner with _Sneakers4Good_ because great races inspire great impact beyond the finish line. When you bring a pair of gently used athletic shoes to race day, _Sneakers4Good _will make sure they find their way to someone around the world who truly needs them. With over 300 million people globally unable to afford shoes, your old kicks can quite literally change someone's life. And here's the best part: it's completely effortless on your end. Just dig those worn-in trainers out of your closet, drop them off at the event, and Sneakers4Good handles the rest. Together, we're turning miles run in Kalkaska into hope delivered worldwide because that's what community events are all about.

EARLY PACKET PICKUP WILL BE ON APRIL 24TH IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL GYM LOBBY FROM 5PM-7PM. Race day checkin starts at 7:00am and ends at 8:15am on April 25th (_PLEASE DON'T BE LATE_). 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
