Shady Lady 5K & 10K

Description
You don’t need to be a lady to run in the League of Outdoor Women’s Shady Lady Trail Run, which is part of the Heritage Area Hustle Race Series! The race is open to men, women, children, aliens, kangaroos, etc. All of the funds raised go to support programming for the League of Outdoor Women, so come show the women in your life how much you want to support their outdoor adventures! Please feel free to run or walk.

***The starting location and race day registration will be the Joe Wheeler Boat Ramp (not at the marina!).  Boat Ramp Location . From Highway 72, turn south onto McLean Drive. Drive 0.8 miles until reaching the First Creek Boat Ramp. Participants will meet at the Jimmy Sims Birding Trailhead.***

Course maps to follow. 

The trails at Joe Wheeler State Park are excellent for trail runs – they are relatively wide and well managed. Some elevation change on the trails is present and they are not maneuverable for strollers or wheelchairs not built for all-terrain navigation.
 
Prizes will be awarded to the overall winners of the 5k, 10k, and Half Marathon, as well as prizes to winners of each age group.
 
Pacers for 1:45 and 2:00 hour finishes will be present for the half marathon.
 
The Shady Lady is part of the Heritage Area Hustle Race Series. Participate in the Shady Lady, the Bad Kitty (5k, 10k, March 16), and the Artsy Fartsy (5k and 1 mile fun run) and receive a special medal for completing the series!
