TRRC December Dash

Wednesday, December 29, 2021 is somebody's something-something birthday! (If you haven't figured it out yet, where have you been??) Let's celebrate with a 5.5 Mile Run/Walk and/or a .55 Mile Kids' Dash! (All are welcome to participate in the .55 mile dash.)
Registration begins at 4:00, Kids' Dash starts at 5:00 pm, 5.5 Miler starts at 5:30.
 
LOCATION & RACE REGISTRATION: HOPEFULLY at Side Cut Metropark, sledding hill side. But, if we don't get approved, we'll do it in Levis Commons.
COURSES:
0.55 Mile Course: Out and back course on the paved trail. Kids AND kids-at-heart are welcome to participate. (Grownups: We will not be held responsible for pulled hammies or bruised egos!)5.5 Mile Course:  5.5 mile out and back course - start near the sledding hill, run/walk along the paved trail, swear your way up the "bumpy hill", tackle the pedestrian bridge, head into the Fallen Timbers Battlefield, travel clockwise on the path, turn around at the Meadow Node (that's what those circular areas along the path are called - nodes. Who knew?) and head back to the start/finish. At least you don't have to go up that Big Dang Hill! (Yeah, but, but, the bumpy hill! And the pedestrian bridge! *RD chuckles evilly*)OR: Levis Commons (see above).
