Event Description

Join us for a "For Fun Endurance Style" Race.  Clock starts at 9 am and counts down to 4 hours at 1 pm.  Individually or with a group you put together, see how many miles you knock out on our modified Shadyside course.   We are using this as an introduction/warm-up to the 8-Hour Dream Endurance Race hosted by CRRG on July 13th (https://www.8hourdream.com/).  Bring your 8-Hour team out to practice, or bring yourself and/or some friends and see what an event like this is like to participate in!

We gather and setup at the Shadyside Activity Center (next to the Pickleball courts) off Alexandria Pike. The main loop will be an open course (no traffic controls) that goes across the Red Bridge, taking the bridge over the creek and up Shadyside Hill, and down Broadway to Grand Ave (all sidewalk) (Stop at Big Boy and get some food, it's all your own pace!) and into the Killbuck Wetlands and back to Shadyside (approx 3 miles).  A short flat loop will be available as the Red Bridge Runner loop of 1.5 miles.

There will be no scoring, no tracking; keep your own time and distance.  There will be one clock counting down the 4 hours until the Warm Up is over!  There are no planned awards but you never know what we might think of while we're all out there (most trash gathered, most interesting trail find, fastest lap as a 3-legged team, idk!)

Anderson Road Runners will have a tent and grill setup.  Bring your own tent and chairs if you want and we'll set up in the grass near the parking lot at the Shadyside Activity Center.  Bring snacks and drinks.  We are planning a tailgate/cookout-style gathering during this event.
