2026 Race Has Been Cancelled
Due to recent snowstorm and consistently sub freezing temperatures, the path at the park has been deemed too risky for a competitive race. The township maintenance crews did an admirable job of plowing and trying to get it clear, but the persistent snowpack around it and thaw/freeze cycle will lead to icy spots on the path that prevent it from being safe enough to hold the event as we had hoped.
Planning is in full swing for our March event which we expect to take place as planned.

Description
This inaugural event is the second leg of the ChesCo Winter Series. The park loop is a fairly flat 1.25 miles and you have the option of a 10 miler or 20 miler. The races start on the loop separate from the finish line and loop the park clockwise finishing at the Tot Lot Pavilion. We will have lots of great snacks, drinks, and pizza. It will be a fun and festive atmosphere.
Packet pick up will be available race morning starting at 8:30am with both distances going off at 10:00am. This event will be incredibly spectator friendly as runners will pass by the finish area after every 1.25 mile loop. This also makes it easy to use the indoor (heated) bathrooms and change clothes, get your own fluids/foods, etc.
Live results will be posted to the results link on RunSignup and we will have a livestream throughout the day on our YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/@2lraceservices so that family/friends can follow the action from near and far.
Information on the full series including the leaderboard at https://runsignup.com/Series/chescoracefest. We will score each event with the points determined by the number of finishers in the event. The 20K will have a 2X point multiplier.

FAQ
What do we get for swag for this event?
All participants will get a winter beanie for signing up.
Can I pick up my race packet before race morning?
No, sorry we will not have packet pick up available prior to race day.
Can I wear headphones?
Yes, you can but please make sure that you can still hear and be aware of what is going on around you.
What surface is the park path?
It is paved about ~ 12' wide
How close can I park to the finish line?
That depends on when you arrive. There is parking around the perimeter of the park and early arrivals will be able to park closer to the finish line. Based on the # of parking spots and other events that have been held here, there is more than enough parking.
What if I want/need to arrive and start late?
That isn't a problem. The chip timing equipment at the start lines will be packed up shortly after the race begins but you can check in with the timers at the trailer and let them know you are a late starter and they will manually adjust your start time. The race ends at 5pm sharp regardless of when you start.
Can I change races from what I originally signed up for?
Yes you can drop down in distance but we will not refund the difference in entry fee cost. You can let us know before the day of the event or when you arrive at the venue. You won't appear in the results properly if you don't let us know.
Is this event spectator friendly?
Yes, it is very spectator friendly and friends and family are welcome to set up personal cheer spots anywhere on the course. We will also plan to livestream the event on http://www.youtube.com/@2lraceservices so you can share that with anyone who wants to watch from afar.
