Description
WOOHOO!!! We are so excited to be doing our run in the Parklands this year! There hasn't been a trail run in this park for years! Participants run five (timed) or three (not timed) miles through the beautiful trails of Turkey Run Park (Parklands of Floyd Fork) to benefit Second Chances Wildlife Center. Second Chances is a nonprofit that provides Environmental Education programs to the Louisville area community. They also offer wildlife rehabilitation and safe release of injured and orphaned animals. Race proceeds and additional donations go back to saving our local wildlife. This pays for medicines, cleaning supplies, vet visits, formula, food, etc. Thank you for your support.
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.
