Run and
Taffy Pull Description:
Runs will start on the open field
and follow a wooded trail through the beautiful park. The youngest group
will start first and remain on the paved trail. Age groups 8 and older will
run on a wooded trail that has a few inclines. After the run we will meet
for
Ye Olde Taffy Pull
, a holiday event with goodies and
fun!
Parking
is located
inside the park, first lot located on the right. Please follow the signs and
prepare for restricted access during the race.
Awards
-
We will present all finishers with an award and enter their bib number into a raffle filled with goodies. Results will be posted on the website that week in alphabetical order.
Kids! -
If you want to
have a fun run you must prepare for it so make sure you train well before
the event. Whatever your distance is for the race, run that distance slowly
until you can complete it without stopping. When you can do the distance,
then try doing that distance a bit faster, even if sometimes you have to
take short jogs in between “intervals”. Try to get in 3-5 runs per week and
make sure you get your parents to try it as well!
