The
Potomac Valley Audubon Society will hold its 14th annual "Race for the
Birds!" on Saturday, April 25, 2015.
As
in previous years, the race will be held on the campus of the National
Conservation Training Center (NCTC) just north of Shepherdstown.
The
2015 race will include a new distance event: a professionally timed 15K
(9.32-mile) trail race that will replace the 7.7-mile trail race held in recent
years.
There
will also be an 8K (4.97-mile) professionally timed trail race; a self-timed,
2-mile community jog/walk for families and individuals who prefer a slower
pace; and a 1-mile "Fun Run" for children under 10 years of age.
Easy,
on-line registration and more information are available on the race website at
www.raceforthebirds.org. Or contact Nan Johnson at [email protected]
or 304-274-5057.
The trails on the NCTC campus are not normally open to the general public so this will be a good opportunity to visit and enjoy the facility's beautiful trail network.
The
two races will begin at 9:00 a.m. The jog/walk will begin shortly afterwards
and the children's Fun Run will be held at about 10:45 a.m.
The
children's Fun Run will be free. Fees for the other portions of the event will
range from $15 to $30.
All
proceeds will be used to support Potomac Valley Audubon's programs for
children, and all fees will be tax deductible.
Course Information:
The 15K and 8K races will follow trails that wind through the forests and fields of the 538-acre NCTC campus.
The 2-mile jog/walk will follow a course that will be very user-friendly for families with small children, and trail-friendly baby joggers will be appropriate and encouraged. The children's fun run will follow a similar course.
