Barbecue Bash Quarters

Barbecue Bash Quarters is a walker-friendly and diet sensitive race with a unique distance feature. Racers choose at registration how many quarters of a marathon they will do: 1-4, 6.55 miles to 26.2 miles. Come race day, if the distance you chose isn’t quite what you’re up to, instead of a DNF (did not finish) and no medal, racers can drop down to the number of laps they were able to complete. As long as you get at least one done, you’ve done BBQ! Part of the West of the River Series, by Obatron Productions/Obatron Fitness, Barbecue Bash Quarters starts at the front of Spencerport Depot and Canal Museum, runs along the canal for an out-and-back portion, returns passed the start line, and ventures out into the residential roads of Spencerport. You need not enter other races to register for this one, but it makes a great challenge to do more!

The generous 7-hour cutoff time means anyone capable of a keeping a 1-hour, 4-minute, 7-sceond per mile pace will be on time for the 1-Quarter race! Pace for 2: 32 minutes, 4 seconds; Pace for 3: 21 minutes, 22 seconds; Pace for 4: 16 minutes, 2 seconds. After crossing the finish line, you’ll get a medal and barbecue goodies! We’ll have pulled pork and chicken, corn bread, and baked potatoes with toppings catered by our Premier Prize Sponsor, Texas Barbecue Joint, as well as rolls, assorted chips, assorted cookies, and other items besides Gatorade and water.

Everyone gets a single-serve Barbecue Kit as part of their race goodies and there’s a free raffle for racers and volunteers.
