Russell Forest Run a Little More Than Two Weeks Away

Russell Forest Run
Saturday, February 22
10K start: 7:45am
5K start: 7:55am
Russell Crossroads

Just like last year, we’re getting an early taste of spring. It really has been nice outside! A little warmer with some bright blue skies (and a little wishful thinking mixed in), it almost feels like spring! Our team was out on the course this week, getting ready to smooth out a few rough spots and blow the sweet gum balls away. There were several folks taking advantage of the slightly warmer temps to get out on the Russell Forest Trails to do some running and walking.

The Russell Forest Run 10K and 5K will be here very soon. The shirts are in including, for the first time, YOUTH SIZES! The bibs are being printed, the trophies (with some additional age separations) are in and sorted, the blanks for use in the machine gun that starts the run are being made, and registrations are coming in!

If you haven’t registered for the run, now would be a great time. There’s no time like the present! You don’t want to miss the post-race party at The Stables with live music and our famous Grits Bar! Click the link below, find the registration tab, fill in the blanks, and you’re set to join your friends in the Russell Forest. If you’ve never taken part, here’s a highlight video from last year:

If running isn’t your thing, but you want to be a part of the fun, we could use a few more volunteers. If you would like to be a volunteer, please email Robert Gunn at [email protected], and he can give you all the details.

We’re down to a few days and counting! We do hope to see you at the 16th annual Russell Forest Run on February 22!
