It's Getting Hot In Here!
The Andalé Racing Club 5K & 1 Mile Trail Run - Summer Edition - Presented by Run Free, or me, Coach Ben. The primary purpose of these races are to raise money for a selected non-profit. Stay tuned for more information about the selected non-profit recipient.
The races are once a quarter in 2024. The courses change every time. Andalé Racing Club is proud to support the USATF-MUT Youth Trail movement, providing young runners a discount at trail and mountain races. Runners eighteen and under can race at Andalé Racing Club events for free.
There is a catch. I need more adults to run my races. The entry fees paid by the adults fund the ability to do these free for the kids. You get a medal, you get a shirt, supported and staffed aid station, photos, and finish line food. Not to mention I've added bubbles. Oh yes...bubbles.
The code for anyone under 18 to register with a 100% discount is FREE18

Course
100% Trail Race – “So what does that mean Coach Ben?” I’m glad you asked. It’s sort of a hybrid between single track on grass, rough grass, long grass, single track in the woods, water crossing you can jump, crushed limestone/gravel trail, dirt, and lots of pokey things sticking out of the ground. It’s not easy but it’s fun and it has sections you can really flow on. Uneven surfaces, questionable footing, it’s fantastic.
