Run The Farm Registration Opening 7/25/11

Run The Farm

The Second Annual Run the Farm 5 mile trail race and Kids 1 mile/0.6 mile races will open for registration on July 25th, 2011 at 9am. The races will be held Oct 23, 2011 with kids races starting at 8:30am. All of the kids races will be completed before the 5 miler is started at 9:15am.

Link to the registration will be live at http://raceit.com/search/event.aspx?event=c8acc05f-cf24-4f23-b2fe-bc396df86c3c.aspx at 9am on July 25th.

Last year’s event was a grand success. Runners loved the scenic and tough 5 mile course. Kids were challenged with a great taste of the trails at Muscoot Farm in their very own race. The farmers at the market loved the energy (and the business!) that the race brought out that Sunday morning.

This year ALL finishers (kids included) will receive “Farm Bucks” when they cross the finish line. Farm Bucks can be used at the Muscoot Farmer’s Market on the day of the race.

We hope you can join us in October for this running event!

PS: We also wanted you to know about two races put on by Friends of the Loop: the new Church Tavern Biathlon (6.5 mile bike/ 4 mile run) in South Salem and — after a one year absence — the Katonah 5k Road run adds a Trail element in its return!

Registration Closing 10/18

Registration for the 5 mile Run The Farm race will close at midnight tonight 10/18.  There will be no same day registration.  Response has been tremendous and we have over 650 runners registered for the inaugural race.

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.
