Tour de Essex - 7K Trail Run
9 AM - Saturday, October 23, 2021
Essex Park, Rochester, MN
|
Experience the rolling hills of the Essex Park trails at the Tour de Essex. Enjoy the trails used for hiking, running, dog walking, and cross country skiing. These trails are expertly maintained throughout the year by volunteers of the Rochester Active Sports Club (RASC).
The approximately 7K trail run will start on the Essex Park entrance road and then head onto the trails. Running surfaces on the race course are mainly grass and dirt with short sections of gravel and asphalt.
This is a low key, low frills race. No race mementos (e.g. shirts) or awards will be provided. Water stops will be on the course. Runners will be timed with results published on the Rochester Running Club and Rochester Active Sports Club web sites.
The entry fee is a very reasonable $15.00 (that's right - only $15!) for online registration through Thursday, October 21. The entry fee for race day registration will be $20. RASC and Rochester Running Club members will receive a $5 entry fee discount. All entry fees from the race will be put towards trail maintenance expenses.
Race day registration will begin at 8 AM at the Essex Park red barn (not the picnic shelter).
The race starts at 9 AM.
If you have any questions, contact John Resman at jresman@gmail.com.
Come on out and enjoy a great fall morning touring the Essex Park trails, and at the same time you'll be supporting the year-round maintenance of the Essex Park and Quarry Hills Park trail systems!
This race is jointly sponsored by the Rochester Active Sports Club and Rochester Running Club.
