Clover Glove Race Series - All proceeds support 4-H

Event details and schedule

Typically, tens of thousands of students learn about snakes as part of 4-H Environmental Education at Georgia 4-H Centers each year. Get a glimsp of the classes: Georgia 4-H Herpetology.

Searching the calendar looking for a holiday race opportunity,we noticed World Snake Day. We considered a 5K. The 5 looks somewhat like a snake. However, acknowledging that some of us are getting somewhat old and July tends to be a bit hot in Georgia, we decided to go with a 2.2 mile race.  Recall that 1 dot on two dice is considered “snake eyes.”  Two dots one on each of two dice!

WHEN: Run the 2.2 mile July 14-16. Send finish times using the following LINK: https://forms.gle/gSGnGr9AeQv5573t6 no later than dark:30 on 7/16/21. Be careful to not step on snakes.

AWARDS: Pre-registered participants will receive a small rubber snake mailed (or hand delivered) as soon as practical. We are sparing no expense on these treasures. Added value:They also can used as a fishing lure. Black Bag, Clover Glove, and Georgia Runner  Points will be awarded.

Registration: $10.44 for race. Additional gift to 4-H is appreciated. Gifts donated to this race will support 4-H Environmental Education.  Register by 7/14/2020.
