Event Sponsor:
East Texas Arboretum is a non-profit organization who strives to bring the community together through running. We would like to sponsor this event to reach out to smaller running clubs or individual runners in the East Texas area in order to interest them in becoming a part of our organization. The event is open to the public. We encourage everyone to join us, even if they do not want to run and would rather walk.
Event Description:
The run will begin at 8:00 P.M. Participants must be registered by this point. We are expecting to have around 150 participants. We will have sent registration applications out prior to the event, to smaller running clubs in the area. Registration fees are $35 and $20 for 12 yrs old and under. The fees are to help cover permit fees, participant fees and T-shirts, and refreshments.
The run/walk will go 1 ½ miles in one direction then turn around and take the same route back. It will begin at the Cain Center Staging area. Participants will run from there to Robins Road and back. We will set up one water stations on the trail at the turn around. Our water stations will be operated by volunteers.
Emergency Action Plan
All participants are required to check-out before departure. We will have a last walker on the trail, will not begin until all participants have began. They will not pass anyone and will ensure that the path is empty when they get back. Each water station will be equipped with a first aid kit and walkie-talkies. For non-emergency situations, participants will be treated with the first aid kit. For emergency situations, we will contact the East Texas Medical Center dispatch and other appropriate authorities.
