Event summary
What makes this event truly special is the playful twist—young runners dressed in adorable pink pig shirts, known as "piglets," will have a three-minute head start, creating a thrilling chase for the adult runners! Those who catch at least one piglet before crossing the finish line will be entered into a special drawing for fantastic prizes. Watch out for the BIG, BAD WOLVES who will join the race late, adding an extra layer of excitement! Plus, kids under 13 can join the fun as piglets for free, complete with a complimentary pig t-shirt. Don’t forget to bring your furry friends along—dogs are welcome to
Organiser's Description
The race is an out-and-back along the MA & PA Trail. 1K Bacon Stroll walkers are invited to join in the fun!
The kicker: THIS IS A CHASE! Well have young runners dressed in pink pig shirts (a.k.a. "the piglets"). They will have a three minutes head start on the adult runners. Those who pass at least one of the piglets before crossing the finish line get their name into a special drawing for prizes. BUT LOOK OUT! There are also a few BIG, BAD WOLVES who will get a late (seven minute) jump on you. If they all pass you, you'll lose the opportunity for the special drawing
All proceeds after costs will go to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Harford and Cecil Counties.
IF YOU ARE UNDER 13 AND WANT TO BE ONE OF OUR PIGLETS: We are accepting runners under the age of 13 to take off first. These young ones get a FREE pig t-shirt.
Bring your pup! Sign him/her up to join you (sign them up under the dog option). Dogs must be registered (just $10) and on a leash.
