The SHIVER by the RIVER 5K & 10K is NOW. The first one is Dec 13th, at Jim Dietrich Park, in Muhlenberg Twp. Registration opens at 8:30; both races start at 10:00. If you can’t run all 4 races, run 3, run 2, or run 1. The dates for the other races are Jan 10th, Feb 14th, and March 14th.
The Shiver is unique in that at the end of a 5K loop, runners can decide if they want to go through the chute and finish the 5K or continue and do the loop a 2nd time, completing a 10K. Runners can run different distances each month or the same distance each month. So come out and join us for motivation to run through the winter. See old friends, meet new friends, and see how your time compares month to month! Snacks and hot soup after each race. Series awards will be given at a banquet, after the March race. Runners must complete at least 3 races to be eligible for a series award. The banquet is free to all who have run at least 3 races, with a nominal charge for all others.
Registration: Runners can register online at Pretzel City Sports or by mailing the registration form and a check. We did not mail applications; however, the app can be printed from the Pacer website or picked up at any race that is timed by Pretel City Sports. We will have race day registration. The pre-registration deadline is 11/13.
Swag: This series we have a long-sleeve tech shirt with a new logo. New this year, THE SHIRT MUST BE PRE-ORDERED!!! There will be no extra shirts available on race day. Runners who want a shirt but do not plan to pre-register for the series must still pre-order either online or by mailing a registration form. Pre-ordered shirts will be available for pickup at any of the races. The deadline to order a shirt is Nov 13th.
If you choose not to run the race, please consider volunteering. We need volunteers before the race for parking and registration; during the race—on the road, at the finish line, and in the farmhouse; and after the race—for cleanup. If you can help prior to the race, please plan to arrive between 8:00 and 8:15. If you can help with the race itself, please arrive no later than 9:30. Look for one of the race directors somewhere around the farmhouse. Thank you in advance for your support!
Hope to see you there!!!
