STICK HORSE RACE SPONSORED BY GREY RIDGE FARM RIDING ACADEMY

Children ages 8 and under are invited to join in a Stick Horse Race before the 5k race. Each child will get their very own stick horse to race and keep. You don't need to sign up for this in advance, but we are interested in whether you want to participate (so we can get a general head count). You'll actually sign up (and sign a waiver) on race night for the Stick Horse Race.

The cost to participate is $5. Payment for the Woodford Track Challenge will be made on the night of the race (cash or credit/debit card accepted).

WOODFORD TRACK CHALLENGE EVENTS

We plan to hold a series of fun, special challenge events on the night of the race from 5:30-7:00pm. All levels are welcome to participate and "Test Your Skills" in various track and field disciplines. The Woodford County Track Club with the help of the HS Track Team will help organize/run the events. You don't need to sign up for this in advance, but we are interested in whether you want to participate (so we can get a general head count). You'll actually sign up (and sign a waiver) on race night for the Woodford Track Challenge.

The cost to participate is $5/event or $15 for all events. Payment for the Woodford Track Challenge will be made on the night of the race (cash or credit/debit card accepted).
