About this run
We're excited to present the Don's Backyard BBQ 20K/10K Trail Running Race! This is great double track off-road running experience. The race will start at "Entrance B" (down by the UGA Boat Ramp). This is a very fast, flowing trail system and sets up to be great! If you are headed out to pre-run, we're Running this One in a "Clockwise Direction". See Race Rules / Format Below! There are two distance options 20K/10K to choose from. Packet Pick Up is from 6:30-7:30 / Race Starts at 8:00 a.m. Sharp! Race registration includes (but not limited to), FREE BBQ Meal, super soft tri-blend t-shirt, chip timing, professionally marked course, medals for the top 3 in each age category, and an awesome off road running experience! Complete details: www.dirtyspokes.com Dirty Spokes will be handing out medals and prizes to our overall top 3 male and female finishers for each race as well as overall male and female maters, grandmasters and senior grandmasters winners. We will also be handing out medals to our top 3 male and female finishers in each age group (9&U, 10-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-49, 80&U) - you must be present to receive your medal as they will not be mailed.
