Prairie Pines 4 Mile Run/Walk & Youth 1 Mile Run
Registration: https://www.runfourthepines.com/run-four-the-pines1.html
On behalf of the 2021 Run Four the Pines Race Committee, I’d like to thank you. For what? For being awesome. Why are you awesome? For many reasons more than likely. But in this case it is because you participated in the inaugural 2019 Run Four the Pines or the 2020 Virtual Run Four the Pines or because you are a friend of Prairie Pines.
The big change this year, BESIDES AN IN PERSON REAL LIFE EVENT (air horns, laser sounds, sirens, fog!!!), is that the original race directors Mary and Eric Noel have moved to California. Not only are they now experiencing literally half the current humidity, they have asked us to continue on with this race. So here we are.
We are asking your help in a number of ways: 1) sign up for the race itself. Better yet, sign up with like 5 friends. 2) if you can’t race help us and volunteer. 3) pass this along either by email or social media.
WHAT THIS RACE IS
A celebration of this crazy cool thing we get to do that we call running.
A rare opportunity to run a cross country style event
Experience a really cool venue in Prairie Pines
A Fundraiser to help eventually link Prairie Pines with the Murdock Trail and eventually Spring Creek Prairie in Denton.
A well marked course that takes you through the Arboretum and native prairie
A likely PR because no one runs four miles for a race
Kids one mile run (NEW this year!), or four. We’re not your parents.
Great after party with local food trucks, brews, and live music
WHAT THIS RACE ISN'T
Hyper-competitive event where people take themselves too seriously. Judgy statement? Yep. This whole thing is about having fun, supporting a local cause, and doing a different kind of challenge.
