Registration for Kids Run The Farm Closed

The registration for Kids Run the Farm is closed with nearly 200 kids pre-registered.  The response has been fantastic and we are looking forward to a great kids race!  The 5 mile race is still open but will close for registrations soon.

Kids race course maps are available here. If your child is registered there will be 2 different heats, both starting at the same place.

  • The first start will be PROMPTLY at 8:30am for the 7-12 year olds on the 1.1 mile course.
  • The second start will be 5 minutes later on the 0.65 mile course for the 3-6 year olds.

We strongly encourage parents (or older siblings not running the 1.1 mile kids race) to run with the 3-5 year olds.  6 year olds can go it alone at parents discretion.

There will be trail marshalls throughout the course to guide the kids on the right path.

Both kids races must be finished before the 5 miler starts since the courses intersect.

All races finish at the same location which is right next to the start line for the 5 mile race so parents and other runners can form a cheering section when they come in for the big finish. Continue reading …

Registration Closing

Dear Trail runners and Leatherman’s Loop enthusiasts,

We are very close to needing to close down the registration for both the Run The Farm 5 miler and the Kids Run The Farm 1.1 and .65 miler. Unfortunately, we will not be able to offer same day registration for either event. Support for this first ever trail race at Muscoot Farm has been off the charts and reflects a high level of trust in the event organizers. For that we are honored and will do our best to please.

Mike, Kate, Rob, Tony and Judy and Dave

PS: If you’d like to run in the race, please Register ASAP.

If you have already registered, be sure and pass this deadline on to friends who may be interested in running the trails at Muscoot!  Here are some other useful links for those who are registered:

Registration Opening Tomorrow Morning

Registration for Run The Farm is opening tomorrow at 9am. We will have a direct link to the registration provider at the site at 9am.  We will also send out an email with a direct link.

Right now we don’t know what the response will be and we will keep everyone up to date on registration numbers as they come in. The farm has a fairly large capacity for crowds which we are excited about.  See you at the Farm!

Registration Opening Soon

Run the Farm race registration will open soon.  Keep an eye on the site and look for an email announcing registration opening time!  Thanks for your great feedback!

Race Survey Results

Runners: Thank you for your overwhelming response to our Run the Farm Survey.  Of the 650+ people who responded, 80% (over 500) responded they would either “Definitely” or “Likely” be there.  Another hundred were rated their participation “Possibly.” Over half of the respondents indicated that someone in their family would like to participate in a kids race the same day.  So we are thinking it’s a go!

We received a lot of questions in the open ended part of the survey.  Here are a selection of these comments and our responses to them regarding the planned “Run the Farm” 5 mile trail race and kids 1 mile race at Muscoot Farm on October 24, 2010.

A number of comments were similar so we condensed them or combined them over one response.  If you have any other questions, let us know.  Your ideas and feedback have already given us great ideas and encouragement.

Note: Some commenters mistakenly thought that we were asking for opinions about a Fall Leatherman’s Loop.  Just to be clear—that is not under consideration.

We are developing this new trail race at Muscoot to get people running trails locally and to help get the word out about local farms and farmer’s markets.
