On June 3, all Fleet Feet locations will participate in the The Big Run, a nationwide event coinciding with Global Running Day.
We want to see the whole community participate because, seriously, running together rocks. Let us recap the ways:
You get to join Fleet Feet communities across the country participating in a nationally-coordinated event in different locations all on the same day.
It’s on a Wednesday — who couldn’t use a mid-week pump-up
Finisher medal — Not just any medal. A very cool, make-your-friends-jealous medal.
We know some people. And some pretty cool brands (cough, cough, Brooks). Let’s just say, we’re planning some fun raffle giveaways and category prizes.
Your choice of 4 Miles or 8 Miles in a true off-road challenge!
The course is a 4 mile loop. As this is a true trail run, no spikes are allowed. Trail shoes are recommended, but not necessary. While the course will have at least one water stop, there will be no cups so we require that you carry a water bottle with you.
Participants in the 4 Mile distance may elect to change to the 8 Mile distance by running a second lap. Participants in the 8 Mile distance may elect to drop to the 4 Mile distance by heading to the finish after their first lap. All changes MUST be communicated to the race timer at the finish line.
Includes
Chip timing by YellowJacket Racing with a split point for each lap
Live Text and Email results as your finish (sign up for results notifications to track a runner here)
Live results will be posted online
Premium blend cotton t-shirts to all those registered by May 27, 2020
Plenty of post race food
Finisher medals for ALL Finishers!
