Organiser's description
JOIN US FOR OUR 50TH RUNNING OF THE RACE FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE FT. BAYARD WILDERNESS RUN.
_OF PARTICULAR INTEREST TO YOU RUNNERS OF A CERTAIN AGE: EL COBRECITO IS DESIGNATED AS THE NEW MEXICO STATE 13.1 KM MASTERS CHAMPIONSHIP._
Weve moved the old race to nearby Bataan Memorial Park, which the race director considers a nearly perfect trail-race venue. Whereas the old course was a gritty, dust-choked, coyote-scented ankle-twister in the foothills of the Gila, the new course is all thatplus it offers better parking & restrooms, & even more single-track than the old course. Plus theres a playground for your non-running family members to enjoy while youre having your peculiar brand of weekend trail-run larks.
As with the old Ft. Bayard Trail Races, we will feature two race distances: 4 MILES (plus change) for the fleet-footed; 8.1 MILES (13.1 KM) for the longsuffering.
Per tradition, well reward the toughest runners with ROBIN PARSONS-DESIGNED MIMBRE~NO TROPHY BOWLS in four age brackets, with additional prizes for walkers.
Runners who would like a stylin' commemorative race shirt must email the race director ([email protected]) by MAY 7. Shirts are locally printed high-quality Ts and are sold at cost. Because we are keeping our registration form simple, you cannot order a shirt from this RunSignUp site. Instead, notify the race director and either mail a check made out to SCAT or use your registration as a promise that you will pay for the shirt on race day.
The fee for runners under 18 is only $5. If you want to avoid the regular $17 race fee, it's best that you register using a mail-in registration (https://www.justteaching.org/joy/scat/cobrecito-trail-races).
Race Day Registration opens at 6:30 AM; same-day registration is $22.
