It's THE PERFECT route for an 10k & 5k...it's beautiful, rolling and there are NO CARS!!!
*Strollers are welcome...but we ask that they start towards the rear of the start. 

WHY ARE WE ORGANIZING THIS EVENT: Because we want to bring folks together in a meaningful way, get friends and families OUTSIDE to enjoy our beautiful area that we live in and most importantly, to raise funds for the Wissahickon Watershed Association!
Again, Scoogie Events, Doylestown Township and The Market at DelVal are holding nothing back and pulling out all of the stops to make sure that this event of it's kind will truly be one for the memory books...(Even the big man himself is flying in for this event...It really doesn't get any bigger than that!!!)
Having the beautiful & Market at DelVal, Doylestown Township and the new US 202 Parkway play host to this event is a dream come true. 
This is a THE perfect location to host an event like this and the US 202 Parkway is THE perfect run course. And, the DelVal University cross country trails are THE PERFECT location for the BRAND NEW DIRTY TURKEY TRAIL RUNS! The combination of these factors and the fact that Scoogie Events is bringing this race to you and will see to it that all runners needs and desires are met, means that this race is surely not to be missed.

PACKET PICK UP:
**A RUNNER EMAIL WILL BE SENT OUT TO ALL REGISTERED RUNNERS ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22nd AS WELL AS MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25th OUTLINING THE DETAILS OF THE RACE AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU WILL NEED TO KNOW ABOUT RACE DAY** 
Packet Pick up will be be announced closer to the actual event.

You CAN pick up your packets race morning but we HIGHLY suggest doing so on Wednesday at PPU to avoid lines! 

NOTE: Again, no mailing of awards or shirts. If you have to leave the race early for ANY reason, you must notify us to save your award.  If you do not, we cannot hold/store awards and it will likely be given to a race day entry or someone else. It is simply too much to hold/store & inventory the awards or shirts.
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING THE TRAIL RUNS: If we should experience rain or snow in the days leading up to this event, or, should experience trail damage for any reason whatsoever, we reserve the right to cancel the trail runs. This is for two reasons: Number one, is for the safety of the runners. And number two, we do not want to damage the trails for future events.
Should this happen, there will be absolutely no refunds given, all runners registered for the trail run will be transferred to the same distance on the road.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING WEATHER:
This event is a rain/shine event.
This means that if it rains (and as long as the temperature isn’t low enough to freeze any surfaces), this event IS A GO…even in the rain….”skin is waterproof😀”
In the event that we experience bad weather such as snow or ice or any weather that would cause the course to be unsafe, we will cancel the event.
There will be no refunds due to the fact that at this point all of the expenses for a race of this magnitude have been paid for.
We will not reschedule the event this year. It would simply be too difficult for a variety of reasons. This event took a great deal of planning and MANY, MANY people, police, townships, store owners etc have been involved to make it happen. To do it all over again at a different date would be nearly impossible in a short time. We will do everything in our power and within reason with make the event happen. But, it’s ALWAYS SAFETY FIRST!
It’s important to understand that IF we need to cancel the event due to extreme weather, we will not issue any refunds and we will not reschedule the event this year.
Thank you for your understanding.

 
PRICE INCREASE WILL GO INTO AFFECT AT MIDNIGHT ON NOVEMBER 30TH!

Note: If you are registered for this race and you registered in time to choose a TECH 1/4 zip size BUT you are unable to run for whatever reason, you will NEED TO CONTACT us BEFORE RACE DAY and let us know if you'd like us to hold on to your reserved giveaway (TECH 1/4 zip) for you to pick up at a future Scoogie Event.
