FAQ

Below are some Frequently Asked Questions about Run The Farm:

Q: Do you have a course map?

A: Yes – check this page for the 5 miler and this page for the kids races.

Q: What is the kids course?

A: See the kids race description for details.

Q: What is the registration cost?

A: 5 mile trail run is $30. Kids trail run is $15.

Q: How do I confirm a registration?

A: You should get an email confirmation right away from RaceIt.com when you register. If you do not, it could be that you typed your email address incorrectly or the message was trapped in a spam filter (check your spam folder if you have one). You can also check the registration list page here:  https://www.raceit.com/Register/registrantSearch.aspx?event=5753 to search for your (or your kids) registrations. Please contact us if there are any problems or if you have questions.

Q: Do I have to register if I want to run with my young child in the kids race?

A: No need to register to run with your child (note: they should be registered for the kids race!). We encourage the younger kids to run with a parent or older sibling as an ‘escort’ to help them out. The course is long enough (0.6m or 1k) that the younger kids may get winded and have to take a break. In case they want to go solo we will have course marshalls to keep them on the right track. Note: the older heat for 7-12 year olds shouldn’t need escorts but if you are more comfortable accompanying them then please start towards the back of the group.

Q: Will there be same day registration?

A: Last year we closed online registration a week before the event and encourage you to register early. We did accept a limited number of walk in registrations in 2010 very early in the day but we may not be able to accommodate walk ins this year. Your best bet is to register online.

Q: How much are T-shirts for the event?

A: [Day of race] Adult Cotton T-shirt is $20 (note: pre-ordering adult shirt with registration is $18).  Kids cotton T-shirt is $15.

Q: Why are t-shirts extra?

A: Run The Farm, like the Leatherman’s Loop, is completely runner supported with no sponsors.  The t-shirts are one of a kind and have no ads on them at all.  We will have a limited quantity of shirts available for purchase at the event if you would like to wait to decide to purchase the shirt.

Q: I am entered in the race but did not purchase a t-shirt and I would like to order one before the event, how can I do this?

A: It is much better to pre-order with your registration which guarantees that your shirt and size will be there waiting when you pick up your bib. However, if you forget to order — or change your mind — contact us and let us know your size preference before we place the shirt order (around October 10th). We can put a note on your bib and “reserve” a shirt that you can pay for when you get to bib pickup. We will be ordering some extra shirts so if you did not place an order with your registration, come early to pick up your bib and we will hopefully have a shirt in your desired size that you can purchase. No guarantees however.

Q: I am entered in the race but can’t attend. Can I get a refund?  Can I transfer my entry to a friend?  Can I defer my entry until next year?

A: No, registration is non-refundable and non-transferable.  See this page for some reasons why. We do not carry over registrations from year to year.

Q: Why do you list Muscoot Farm as being in Somers and Katonah?  Which one is it?

A: It is located in Somers but has a Katonah mailing address. It is in the Somers Fire District and we are pleased to welcome the EMS crew to the event!

Q: Can I bring a dog with me to the farm and run the course with him/her?

A: No – Dogs are never allowed at Muscoot Farm. It is a working farm and the animals there are spooked by unknown dogs. Also, dogs not familiar with the farm animals may become excitable and unpredictable with all of the sights, sounds, and smells that are new to them.
