Hello!  I hope everyone is well and you are continuing to get some miles in!

Since it is still uncertain when we will be able to hold our third race of the Frozen Foot Series, we have made some decisions regarding the race and distribution of metals and t-shirts to the series participants.    

For those that signed up for the March race only.  We will offer you registration to one of the 2021 races or the cost off the full series registration.  Please contact Chuck Wells for details and arrangements for that to occur. 

For those of you who were participating in the race series:  We will be completing the series with a virtual run.  Anytime between Friday, June 12^th and Sunday June 21^st run 3.1-miles.  You can send your times to Chuck via email, but it is not required.  This run will earn your 3^rd finishers metal.  The times will not be counted towards the series awards.  Series awards will be determined by the 1^st and 2^nd races only!!

Finisher’s metals, series awards and t-shirts will be available for pick up in the parking lot of Christ Church United Church of Christ in Elizabethtown, PA on Sunday, June 21^st from 1:00 to 5:00 pm and Sunday, June 28^th from 1:00 to 5:00 pm.  The Church address is 247 South Market Street, Elizabethtown, PA. You will be able to have someone else pick up your shirt and metal, however they will need to sign that they did so. No proof of third race times will be needed for pick up of these items. 

If you are unable to make either of these times for pick up, please email Chuck at 2athlon@comcast.net and other arrangements can be made for pick up.  Please understand that we will not be able to mail shirts and medals.

If you have any questions, please email Chuck at 2athlon@comcast.net.

We are working on the 2021 race and hope to be implementing some new ideas.  Keep your fingers crossed that we will be able to gather at that time!

Stay safe and happy running!

Thank you to all the participants of the 2019 Series!!! The proceeds raised will be used to help fund a trip to help with the rebuilding efforts in Volusia County FL. This area continues to work towards recovery after being hit by hurricanes in both 2016 and 2017.

I would like to give a special thanks to a group of participants that made donations beyond the money paid for registration. Your extra donations are greatly appreciated.   So Thank you……Sydney Tefft, Stephen Fean, John Gilbert, Paula Lehman, Dan Hoffmeier, Richard Troutman, Frederick Kohler, Joshua Thompson, and Dean Newswanger. There are six others who wish to be anonymous. You know who you are and Thank you!

Series results are posted. They are again calculated cross country style based on overall finish position. Consideration was also given to best overall pace.

We are looking forward to 2020.  I am working to set the dates.  When finalized the Run Signup site will be back. We had a lot of changes in 2019. I have heard several comments that some participants like the start and finish in the parking lot. It had some advantages for traffic control.  Let me know your thoughts!

If you are looking for other races this year we will be back with a bigger and better Great Turkey Hunt on Thanksgiving morning. Proceeds will again go to ECHOS to help local families at during the holiday season. We have the Blue Jay 5K on Homecoming weekend here at Etown College. I am also working on another longer race that may just be SCARY!

All the best to you

Stay healthy…and Keep Running

This year we are raising money to help those who may need help to have a happy holiday season. We are working with ECHOS to identify families in need. The proceeds of the Turkey Hunt will be used to provide as many families as we can with food or gifts to give them a happy holiday.

The Great Turkey Hunt happens Thanksgiving morning, November 22^nd at 8:15 am starting on the campus of Elizabethtown College. You get the opportunity to run a 5K, a great shirt, the opportunity to hunt for your own turkey dinner and you get to help some great people who need some help. It doesn’t get any better!!
