Kid’s Race (10 & Under) – Due to the participant’s ages of this race, this will be a shorter distance than a mile.

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.
