Due to COVID-19 the format for this annual event has changed. We will not be offering a set race course at Hitchcock Nature Center, runners are responsible for picking their own course in the location of their choice & logging their distance & time for submission by email. All race times are submitted on the honor system & there will be no prizes for age & gender divisions. All racers receive the same commemorative prizes & are entered into the random drawing for a two night camping cabin stay. For questions not answered online please call 712-545-3283.
