It's not summer without the Angry Chicken Race Series!

Race distance is 2.62 miles – a tenth of a marathon! – with runners going counter-clockwise (against traffic) on the loop portion of the course. 

The races  are run each Tuesday evening starting at 7PM (early start at 6:50), from June 9th to August 11th (eight races).  Scoring will give 1000 points to the race winner, and everyone else a percentage of that based on their finish time. All eight races will be scored, with prizes to the winners given out after Race 8 on August 11th. A minimum of three races must be run to win.

Sign up for all 8 races before June 1st to receive a free race t-shirt!!

Each race will have a theme. with a small prize for the best costume! To help choose the themes, join our Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18Y89kXYGL/

The races begin and end at the S-curve at the entrance to the Riverwalk (at the end of River Place road).
