Event Description

The “Bacon Strip” is a 10 mile loop with constant undulating
hills on rural dirt roads. The course is very challenging
however the views of the mountains are magnificent. This
loop has become a training run staple for Fort Collins
marathoners. When you can comfortably run the “Double
Bacon” you are in shape to run any marathon.
The John Petherick 4 Mile Race otherwise known as ”Bacon
Bits” (for those who are not quite ready for the full Bacon
Strip experience) is a memorial race for John Petherick
who was a friend of the Fort Collins running community who
passed away in 2004. Proceeds from this race go to the
Poudre High School Math Program.
