Stocking Suffer 8-Hour Endurance Run
Get ready for a fun, challenging day on the trail — our 8-hour Terrapin Nature Park Endurance Race! You’ll have eight hours to run as many 2.8-mile laps as you can (or as many as you want). Every lap you finish earns a new surprise added to your personal stocking — the more laps, the fuller the stocking. When the clock stops, or you are finished, take home everything you’ve collected plus a special “check-out” gift. The top male and female finishers (most laps) will receive special awards.
What’s provided
- A stocking for every participant, which we will fill with lap-earned goodies.
- A well-stocked KIRG aid station at the start/finish with water, sports drink, and a variety of fueling snacks to keep you going.
- Ample space at the start/finish to set up your own rest/aid station. Bring extra fluids or food if you prefer more options — and feel free to share with fellow runners.
- Full-service restrooms at the start/finish and several porta-potties on course.
Why join?
- Pace yourself, set a goal, and watch your stocking grow lap by lap.
- Race for a friendly competition, or treat this as a personal challenge and enjoy the nature loop.
- Community atmosphere: cheer others on, swap snacks, and celebrate every lap.
Race description:
Course loop: 2.8 miles through scenic Terrapin Nature Park. The start and finish for each loop will be in front of the Ranger’s office at Terrapin Nature Area. The loop runs counterclockwise, and you will encounter about 100 yards of soft sand on each lap (watch out for the Sandy Claws!). After each lap, please check in with the lap counter so we can keep track of your goodies.
Duration: 8 hours.
Registration is capped at 100 participants — grab your spot early.
