Dry Pond 5k/10k Race Cancelled
Good afternoon! I hope this email finds you well and enjoying this beautiful Carolina weather.
It is with great regret to inform you that I am having to cancel this race due to low registrations and extenuating circumstances. I have issued a full refund, which should be hitting your bank account within 5-7 business days.
I am reevaluating and planning to reschedule this race for the Fall of 2025. So, please stay tuned for updated information in all the places. Additionally, once the new scheduled date is decided upon, I could really use your help in getting the word out. Also, if you choose to sign up for this race in the Fall of 2025, you will be given a $5 off coupon code for being patient with me as I work through making this race a success.
Thank you for the support and please reach out with any questions. Otherwise, I will see you in the Fall of 2025.
Best regards,
Carri

Description
Please join us for the inaugural Dry Pond 5k/10K race presented by Denver Running Company, LLC.
A short bit of history - Denver was previously called Dry Pond; named for the pond at the intersection of NC 16 Business and Campground Road that dried up during the warmer months. Today Denver sits on the west shores of Lake Norman, a very large lake created in 1962 when construction of the Cowans Ford Dam across the Catawba River was completed. *Information gathered from denvernc.com*
The 5k and 10K course is along McConnell Road and Webbs Chapel Church Road where you will get to experience the beauty of the fall leaves and a small piece of Lake Norman. The course is moderately hilly with only small elevation gains and can be enjoyed by runners of all levels.
