Description
Snails aren't the fastest species but you know what? At least Snails Keep GOING! It's not always about speed or who's the fastest. It's about finishing YOUR race.
For all those who aren’t necessarily the fastest runner you can still say you "Snailed It" after this super fun unique 5K, 10K, or 13.1 Half-Marathon run! Take your time, run your pace, your race.

Run for Others: Make a Difference
Every year we aim to provide 5,000 stipends, scholarships, or just free entries (with Shirt & Medal) to those who aren’t able to pay for a registration ticket themselves. We believe every person should have the opportunity to part of a fun, community run.
This includes at risk youth, orphans, or the marginalized.
If you’re an organization or Non-Profit wanting to apply for stipend/scholarships, feel free to contact us for more information at contact@thebestraces.com.
