Race for Sight
5K and 15K Trail Races
Beautiful lakeside course! Trails that have not been used in any other race! New 15K course!
Sunday October 7, 2012
9:00 am
http://raceforsight.weebly.com
Race Location: Marsh Creek State Park, Downingtown, PA. Registration begins at 7:30am in the WEST parking lot – off of Reeds Road. Do NOT go to the Main Park Entrance off of Park Rd. Follow parking attendants – do NOT park on the road side.
Directions: From PA Turnpike: Take PA turnpike to West Chester/Downingtown exit, take 100 North for ½ mile, at 2nd light make a left onto Pennsylvania Drive (before you go under the bypass), after ½ mile take a right onto West Township Line Road, go 1 mile and make a right onto Dorlan Mills Road, after 1.4 miles, take a right onto Creek Road (282 North). Follow 282 for 2.2 miles, and you will see a greenhouse on your left, make the next right onto Lyndell Road (the Lyndell Post Office will be on the corner). After 0.3 miles, Lyndell Road ends and becomes Reed Road (can only go right). Marsh Creek South Entrance will be on your left after 50 yards.
From 202: South to Rt. 30 Bypass West, take 282 Wallace Ave. exit, make left at bottom of ramp, go .2 miles and make right onto 282 North. Follow North 3.6 miles and make a right onto Reeds Road. Follow for approximately one mile. Marsh Creek South Entrance will be on your right.
GPS: You can put in 803 North Reeds Rd, Downgintown, PA – this will get you to Marsh Creek South Entrance.
Course Description: The 5K is perfect for new trail runners, and the 15K is a great challenge for trail running junkies! The 5K is a loop starting and ending at the West parking lot. The race starts by going out on a wide gravel dirt road that any road runner will appreciate! There will be rolling hills and lake views the whole way. The race turns and starts to head back at the dam. This is when you enter a mostly flat, single track trail that hugs the lake the whole way back to the finish – so you’ve got the whole first half of the race to spread out before hitting the single track! For the 15K, runners will break off from the 5K at the 1.5 mile mark, and cross over the dam for the best view of the lake in the entire park! Once coming back to the start/finish area, runners will cross over to the other side of the park for the final 2K (we know it will be tempting to run by that finish line!). The 15K trails are mostly single track and are very well maintained. Expect some hills and a few easy stream crossings (you can basically jump over them if you don't want to get your feet wet!). There will be 1 water stop for the 5K, and at least 3 for the 15K.
Awards: For each race, the 5K and 15K, top three overall male and female, and top three male and female
in 10 year age groups will receive medals: Under 15, 16-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+
Proceeds: 100% of the proceeds benefit the Choroideremia Research Foundation (CRF). Choroideremia is a rare genetic disorder that affects the choroid/retina of the eye and eventually leads to legal blindness, often around ages 25-30. Major research breakthroughs have been made over the past 2 years, but funding remains of the utmost importance to finding a cure. For those currently diagnosed with this disease, time is of the essence. More information can be found at http://choroideremia.org.
Other Information: Timing by Pretzel City Sports. Results will be posted at www.pretzelcitysports.com 2-3 days following the event. A raffle will be held immediately following the race, with all proceeds benefiting the CRF.
