- NEW THIS YEAR: TEAM RACE FOR TEAMS OF 3! Register individually for the race and make sure all three runners put the team name on the registration. Here’s how it works: Each team member’s finishing place will be added together for a total score. Lowest team score wins.
* We request that those running the full race be 12 years old or older, and those under 18 will require a parent’s signature.
Course Description:
The Full Race is designed to be a European style 5,000 meter cross country race. As such, it is a short course, making it spectator friendly, with several obstacles incorporated as part of the course. It is physically challenging and will take you 2-5 minutes longer than a road race of the same distance. It takes place on our property, in North East, PA. A portion of the course is run over grass in an open area, and another portion through a wooded trail that is cleared to create a running path. There are mud pits to negotiate, a bridge to cross with a rather steep ramp, a log wall to climb over, and a vigorous climb up a hillside with ropes to assist your efforts.
We suggest wearing spiked shoes and clothes that you aren’t concerned about getting dirty. Hoses will be available for attempting to remove mud, and the creek is also available for rinsing off!
