Event Details
You have no excuse not to participate in this event. There are no fees and you run it when you can during the first week of July. Run in the heat of the day, late at night, or the relative coolness of the morning. It's up to you. What is not up to you is the route. The route will be very specific. It will highlight some of the typical places locals run in Mount Pleasant like the IOP connector, Breach Inlet, Ben Sawyer Bridge, Pitt Street Bridge, Shem Creek, etc. The course will be around 20 miles in distance and will be laid out as a Strava Segment that starts and finishes at the picnic table in front of the Foot Store (not sponsoring this event just a great start/finish area and a cool store). If you run the race correctly you will recieve a time for the segment on Strava when you upload your run. This is how finishing times will be determined. Don't like your time? Run it again! All finishes during the first week of July will count. Your best time will be used Yes, you need Strava. If you are adverse to using Strava I suggest downloading the app to your phone for this run and then deleting when finished. The race runs from July 1st 12:00 am until July 9th 11:59pm. An exact route description with turn by turn directions will be emailed the week prior to the event. I will also post the Strava segment for you to study.
Awards: Not much. Go ahead and pat yourself on the back. It's a Fat Ass (free) race, what do you expect? However, I will do a small gift card for the winning male and female times.
