Are you wondering what race to enter? Let us help you…
Kid’s Race (10 & Under) – Due to the participant’s ages of this race, this will be closer to a half mile.
Open Race – All ages and ability levels welcome.
Elite Race – This race will be fast and more for the competitive level runner. These athletes may have qualified for Boston or run under a 5 to 7-minute mile. Top three male and female finishers will be the only awards given out for this race.
If you are interested in running the Elite Race and have questions, please e-mail us at info@thegoosechase.org and include a brief bio in the e-mail.
This course is a USATF-Certified one-mile course. This will be a fast course and a great opportunity to set a PR, PB or state record.
