Join us for a "For Fun Endurance Style" Race. Clock starts at 9 am and counts down to 4 hours at 1 pm. Individually or with a group you put together, see how many miles you knock out on our modified Shadyside course. We are using this as an introduction/warm-up to the 8-Hour Dream Endurance Race hosted by CRRG in mid-July (https://www.8hourdream.com/). Bring your 8-Hour team out to practice, or bring yourself and/or some friends and see what an event like this is like to participate in!
We gather and setup at the Shadyside Activity Center (next to the Pickleball courts) off Alexandria Pike. We will run our regular Shadyside course; Backwards! We will have 2.6 mile and 1.5 mile loops available.
There will be no scoring, no tracking; keep your own time and distance. There will be one clock counting down the 4 hours until the Warm Up is over!
Anderson Road Runners will have a tent and grill setup with some food and a water and Gatorade aide station available. Bring your own tent and chairs if you want and we'll set up in the grass near the parking lot at the Shadyside Activity Center. Bring snacks and drinks. We are planning a tailgate/cookout-style gathering during this event.
