This event, the second leg of the popular ChesCo Winter Series, offers runners a choice between a challenging 10-mile or 20-mile distance. The course features a relatively flat, 1.25-mile paved park loop within Wilson Farm Park, providing a consistent and manageable terrain for runners to maintain their pace. You'll navigate multiple clockwise loops, with the start line separate from the festive finish at the Tot Lot Pavilion. Typical race day conditions in early February include highs around 42°F and lows near 23°F, with a modest 14% chance of precipitation, creating invigorating winter running weather.
The ChesCo Race Fest #2 is designed with both runners and spectators in mind, promising a fun and festive atmosphere. Participants will find convenient access to "lots of great snacks, drinks, and pizza" at aid stations located at the finish area, which they will pass after every 1.25-mile loop. This unique looped format also makes the race incredibly spectator-friendly, allowing friends and family frequent opportunities to cheer on their runners. Additionally, runners can take advantage of heated indoor bathrooms and easily access their own fluids and foods. For those watching from afar, live results and a YouTube livestream will keep everyone connected to the action.
All participants will receive a winter beanie to commemorate their achievement, adding to the festive spirit. Packet pickup begins at 8:30 AM on race morning, with both distances kicking off at 10:00 AM. Whether you're aiming for a personal best, building endurance for spring races, or simply looking for a supportive and engaging winter run, the ChesCo Race Fest #2 offers an exceptional experience.
