Pigtails Run

The Pigtails Run course is USATF sanctioned.

Start the route in Maple Valley at Four Corners shopping area. The start is a trail on Kent Kangley. Do not park at the church; park at 4 Corners Shopping area. There is a lot of parking there and the trail is right next to it. You would run out to the intersection where the Green to Cedar trail becomes the Cedar river trail and make that right turn that the 50kers do on their way back to the finish on the original course. For a half marathon, you turnaround near the last bridge that crosses the Cedar River (it’s a big foot bridge) on the way to Landsburg and turn around. There is a road about half a mile before that for an aid station. Marathoners will do a double out and back. 50Kers can run all the way to the Landsburg parking (original start) and do an out and back twice for about 32 miles. There is a little more elevation on this course for all distances than there was in prior years, but not much difference overall. The course is mostly paved blacktop trail. There are portions of the race that will have some dirt and gravel.

The swag will be a vinyl long lasting car sticker and a pigtails run patch to put anywhere you want! There is also hats, ear warmers and more that will be available to purchase when you register. Please see the pictures on the WordPress site to look at options prior to purchase.

We are not asking for soup or food donations this year. The $30 registration (up from $25 last year) covers the rising costs of vendors and supplies. And, it will allow us to ensure the butternut squash soup item is bought prior and kept strictly vegan for the vegan runners.
