2nd Annual Most Unofficial Ashland "Jeff Sears" Trot

I'm not one to call Jeff Sears a turkey, but since he won the race last year, he gets the honor. Also, if you're planning to run the race at U of R, our race is not a comparison, there are no road closures, no official timing (self-reported), no prizes, in fact not much of anything (you may hear a cow-bell or two as you run by Carter Park). Just show-up & run.

Jeff would like to dedicate this race to a young man from his church (The Roc) who drown. Donation to The Roc Bus Ministry will be accepted in his memory.

When: Thursday November 27th

Where: Carter Park (Ashland Pool) - just past the YMCA on Ashcake - right on Maple - Carter Park is on your left

Race Number: Bring one from a past event (so people will think you're running an "Official" race).

Schedule of events:

Kids Races - .35 mile run at 8:30 a.m. - .65 mile run at 8:45 a.m. (all on paths behind the pool)

10K - 9:00 a.m. (Ashland Harvest Route)

5K - 9:07 a.m. (Ashland Harvest Route)

You must agree to the following waiver:

I agree NOT to hold the Organizer, Ashland Track Club, Jeff Sears, or President Elect Obama responsible for any misfortunes I may encounter before, during, or after the race. I agree to yield the right-of-way to motorists (who are just trying to get to Food Lion because they forgot the canned cranberry sauce). I further agree NOT to complain about anything to do with the race or the organizer (or Jeff Sears). I agree to accurately time myself & record my time (after finishing). As always, NO wagering allowed.
