Not The Goat Run
Saturday, March 19, 2011 at 11am

Since we moved our Mountain Goat run to be about a month later in the spring, we had some runners interested in running the course as an "unofficial event" closer to when it was regularly run.

Thus, we'll be having the "Not The Goat" run at 11am on March 19th at Kickapoo State Park - meet at the shelter near the top of the hill by the cemetery and then run/walk 5K, 10K, or 15K.

Again, this is not an official KRR race, but expect to see quite a few faces at this "fun run" - and we plan to go to The Little Nugget for eats and liquid refreshment after working up our hunger and thirst on the Mountain Goat course.
