This long time running pre-dinner ritual of working up an appetite, meeting up with family and friends with a little run through the woods and over the hills is a guess your time trail race. No time pieces or GPS devices of any kind permitted least you be labeled a turkey at best and something less at worse.
The distance this year is again somewhere near 5k.
RRR is collecting donations at the race for a number of worthy causes
we encourage all participants choose one and add a little extra to help our community .
