Think this 5K will be hard? A caveman would have done it in mammoth skin shorts and bare feet!
Registration is open and growing for Geauga Park District’s ninth annual trail-pounding, heart-pumping, cave-costume-wearing athletic event, the Caveman Crawl 5K Trail Run & 1-Mile Fun Walk, on Sunday, June 9th, at The West Woods.
All ages are welcome to walk or run the 5K or walk the mile, with all funds benefiting the Chip Henry Institute for Outdoor Adventure, getting kids out into the parks through youth programming including summer camps for youth entering grades 5 through 10.
Registration is open online at , which is also the location of more details, a course map and photos from years past. Race day registration starts at 7:00 a.m., and the race itself steps off at 9:00 a.m., with free food and awards afterwards. Early sign-up guarantees you a race T-shirt and cheaper fee of $20, so sign up today and start warming up for some fun!
Also, come dressed in prehistoric garb for your chance, at 8:30 a.m., to win a special handcrafted Best Costume award in youth or adult categories.
