Join us for Bigfoot's Backyard Bash!
Runners will get a shirt and finisher medal. This is a low key, fun vibe event. Runners can start anytime between 8am and noon. You can run 1 five mile loop or multiple. There will be no timing and no top awards. We will have aid station snacks at the loop start/finish area.
We loved the vibe of GTR this year and decided we needed a summer version.
This event is limited to 250 runners.
The shirt cutoff is June 1.
