Organiser's Description
The Daffodil race has been a staple for the Nevada County community for many, many years. Offering a 5K and a 10K, the routes travel through the quaint little town of Penn Valley and across the green rolling hills on country roads. The 5K travels along the edge of Western Gateway Park, past the dog park, and finally to the park and ride for a quick turnaround for a return to the finish - which will be different this year. The 10K begins the same as the 5K, but will take a detour through the park before heading to the park and ride. During the return, the 10K turns right and weaves through the rural countryside of Penn Valley before racing back to the finish. NEW START AND FINISH AREA, STAY TUNED.
Penn Valley is known for its daffodils and green grass, and if the timing is right, runners will get to see both. April lends towards cooler temps, so runners can experience energy from the spring time air and community. How could anyone say no?
The Penn Valley Lions will be the course marshals on the road. Sierra TrailBlazers are organizing and handling entries, bibs, t-shirts, and awards for the day. A wonderful community project to help all of you get out to have a wonderful spring running experience.
ENTRIES CLOSE APRIL 3, Friday, AT 12 P.M. IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE GET YOUR ENTRIES DONE TODAY!
PLEASE NOTE, ALL RACE DISTANCES MUST ADD A SHIRT TO THEIR ENTRY IF THEY DESIRE A RACE TECH SHIRT.
