Penn Valley Daffodil 5K Walk
Daffodil Fun-Running or Walking
The Daffodil race has been a staple for the Nevada County community for many, many years. Offering a 5K and a 10K, the routes travel through the quaint little town of Penn Valley and across the green rolling hills on country roads. The 5K travels along the edge of Western Gateway Park, past the dog park, and finally to the park and ride for a quick turnaround for a return to the finish. The 10K begins the same as the 5K, but will take a detour through the park before heading to the park and ride. During the return, the 10K turns right and weaves through the rural countryside of Penn Valley before racing back to the finish.
Penn Valley is known for its daffodils and green grass, and if the timing is right, runners will get to see both. April lends towards cooler temps, so runners can experience energy from the springtime air and community. How could anyone say no?
The Penn Valley Chamber will be serving a pancake breakfast for a small cost and the Penn Valley Lions will be the course marshals on the road. Sierra TrailBlazers are organizing and handling entries, bibs, t-shirts, and awards for the day. A wonderful community project to help all of you get out to have a wonderful spring running experience.
Entries are limited. Prices for the 5K & 10K races will increase after March 12. That day is also the last day to secure an orginal Daffodil tech racing shirt for only $10. If you are in town on April 12th, and want to enjoy a beautiful, community spring morning, Penn Valley will be the best place to be.
