Organiser's Description
Runners receive a custom series medal, headband or buff. T-shirt and car seat covers (keep your sweat to yourself!) available to purchase the day of race. Runners have a chance to meet one of the Second Chances Animal Ambassadors! Non-releasable Educational Animal Ambassadors have lifetime sanctuary at Second Chances. The course is a five miles of single track, wooded trail through beautiful Turkey Run. Elevation about 600. Starting and ending by Brown Forman Silo, the course is great for beginners and veteran runners alike. There are some roots and rocks, mostly on the first mile. Door prizes and overall awards for top 3 male and female runners (KCRS gift certificates) . If the trails are too muddy to run due to rain, we will be on the paved path, which still makes for a lovely run.
Again this year, we have a fun little twist. We will have a few hidden bats along the course. If you find one, you can turn it in for a door prize. One per Person. Of course if your goal is strictly speed, just wave to the animals as you run past them. We will have other door prizes with a drawing.
Each participant will receive a special entry ticket to the Columbia outlet store that otherwise is invitation only to shop.
Free chair massages between 9-11AM by The Zen Zone.
A water stop will be located at the midway point on the course. In accordance with our environmental friendly stance, this is a cup free race. Please bring your own reusable cup or water bottle.
A photographer will be there to capture the spirit of the morning. Say cheese!
Plenty of snacks at the end. Second Chances volunteers will be making you some goodies. Kentucky Hop Water will be giving out free hop water. Stay and socialize for a bit. Door prizes at 10AM.
There is a 3 mile run/walk option this year! This will not be timed. But come enjoy the park and camaraderie.
Packet Pickup: Ken Combs Running Saturday 2-5PM and race morning starting at 7:45am. $35 (3 mile) $40 (5 mile) registration the morning of race.
Thank you to our supporting sponsors, Ken Combs Running Store, Kentucky Hop Water, and The Zen Zone. Thank you to Bigfoot Timing for supporting us with the best timing in our area! Thank you to the Parklands for hosting us and helping to make this happen!
