an event of the Texas Blueberry Festival presented by Brookshire Brothers
SATURDAY, June 13 - 7:30 AM at Coy Simms Softball Complex
Run for the blueberries! Visit the Nacogdoches Blueberry Festival and run/walk a scenic 5K on the Lanana Creek Trail. Race proceeds will benefit Dog Park Nacogdoches so all dogs are also invited to register, run and receive a doggie bandana!
START TIME: All 5K runners will start at 7:30 am. All 5K runners with their dogs will start at 7:33 am.
COURSE: Participants will travel on the Lanana Creek Trail and roads north of the Coy Simms Softball Fields. There will be at least one aid station on the course and 10-year age group awards. This will be a USAT sanctioned event and chip-timed by NET. View the course map
here.
PARTICIPATION: Dogs are encouraged to participate, but due to the uneven surface of the trail, strollers are not recommended. Because of the narrow nature of the course along the Lanana Creek Trail the race is limited to the first 300 registrants.
FEES: Race entry is $25. After June 5 there is a $5 late fee. Dog entry for the race is $5.
PACKET PICKUP: Packet pickup will be Friday June 12th from 4-6 pm (location to be determined). It will also be available race morning from 6:30-7:15 am.
