Come out and push it to the limit at the first hill race of the PATCH & Jack Garrett Ford Race Series!  The steep incline of Goff Civil War Hill is a great fitness challenge and the feeling of accomplishment when you reach the top makes it all worth it.  Take in the views of downtown Spencer and the newly built Colonel Ruby Bradley Bridge, then pose for a quick photo on the summit with our photographer and show everybody you conquered the hill!

 

Race course starts in front of Roane County Family Health Care and heads straight for the hill.  Once on top it passes by the historic Superintendent Home and cemetery, then follows a winding course through the fields, back to the fake cannon at the summit, then back down the hill to the start.  Mix of gravel and grass surface with some uneven ground.  Total distance is 2 miles.  To view the route on Strava click here.

 

Roane County Family Health Care is the hosting sponsor for Straight to the Top 3K.  Stop by their booth on race day and pick up some free fitness-inspired promotional items!

 

Please consider donating to our back-to-school drive: pencils, erasers, backpacks, jackets, calculators, etc. are much appreciated.  All donations will benefit Roane County students.  School supplies can be donated at the race, or before the race at Jack Garrett Ford or the PATCH office.  Contact us at (304) 927-8047 if you have any questions.
