Leave your watch at home and guess what your finishing time will be !!!
This unique race will start and finish at the Bears Fountain at 71st & Riverside. Parking at 68th & Riverside
Cost for this event is $25 ($20 for TATUR members and/or TRC members)
Finally a race that any of you can win!!!! Yes that's right, even the slowest spud out there has a good chance of coming in first at this race. How you ask? This race will be eight miles on a course that you will not know until race time. It most likely will have some road and some trail on it. If it does contain trails they will be fairly tame trails and you will not need trail shoes. However, if you are new to trail running you should allot a little more time as you may need to slow down a bit.
The kicker is that every participant will be stripped of their watches, iPods, Garmins, sundials, PDA's and any other device that could be used to tell time with. Then, if you have not done so already, you will submit the time that you think it will take you to run the eight mile course. For example, you may think that you can usually maintain a 11 minute/mile pace for eight miles, so you would write down 88 minutes and 16 seconds (bathroom break). All participants will wear their estim8ed finshing times on their backs. We will then send you off and the winner will be the one whose finishing time is closest to their predicted time. There will be a two hour time limit (15:00/mile pace). The NON Awards Ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. sharp or as soon as the last official runner finishes.
.Participants will wear a bib on their back which will have their estimated time on it. As you pass or get passed, try not to let this influence your pace, or then again, maybe you should let this influence your pace.
The race will be eight miles (measured by a Garmin 305) but you will not know the course till race morning. TOP SECRET !!! We can tell you that it will have a few small hills, some paved trail, a touch of dirt trails, and anything else that we can think of to throw off your estim8ed pace.

Bring the kids, spouse and even the leashed dog. We found a sponsor (Peace Chriopractic Clinic).This will allow us to give out a few awards. We are still looking for a sponsor to help off set the costs of the permits, insurance, and aid staion food. Please email brian@tatur.org if you know of anyone who may like to sponsor this race.
Entry fee will include a shirt and aid station food. Fee is $25 payable to TATUR. Any proceeds from this race will go toward trail improvements at Turkey Mtn. There will also be a donations jar if you would like to help TATUR upkeep and expand our wonderful trail system. We are putting on this race with no sponsors, therefore, we are sorry to say there will be no awards, fanfare, frills, or whining. Just some old fashioned fun. Limited to the first 108 people to sign up!!! We are expecting to fill up early so get your entries in quickly!!!
Contact Brian Hoover at brian@tatur.org or 918-244-6918 for more information.
