From the Organizer
Join us for a "For Fun Endurance Style" Race. Run or Walk as little or as much as you can in 4 hours!
Thanks to our sponsors at Community Hospital Anderson's Community In Motion program, we can offer this free, just sign up here!
Open course with all the beautiful trails Mounds State Park has to offer. This is a trail event but there is a 1 mile stretch of road for anyone wanting to take a break from the dirt.
The clock starts at Noon and counts down 4 hours to 4 pm. Individually or with friends, see how many miles you knock out!
There are no distance requirements; however much you feel you can do in the time! Just make it back to the line before the time is up!
Start/Finish/Food: Woodland Shelter @ Mounds State Park
Starts at Noon, 12 pm
Finishes at 4 pm
Anderson Road Runners will be providing the clock, food for fuel and drinks. Feel free to bring anything you enjoy or if you want to bring in potluck style!
There will be no scoring, no tracking; keep your own time and distance. There will be one clock counting down the 4 hours until our time In The Woods is over!
