Race Report 2023
Thank you for joining us for the run! It was such a beautiful morning to run and it was so wonderful having you all there! All distances were challenged by new course routes and at least one bad ass hill! Don't worry, your legs will forgive you eventually.
Looking for your race results? We worked with Kinetic Timing again this year on our chip timing process. You can view this year and previous year's results on this website.
Thanks to our photographers Notley Hawkins and Chris Kendrick we were able to capture some really fantastic moments from the event! We have posted a gallery of these photos on-line. Feel free to download any photos that you like!
Our race honors the legacy of Betsy Farris, Roots N Blues Festival director from 2009-2016. Betsy trained, inspired, and mentored many people on their journeys to get fit and stay healthy. Our race is produced by our friends at Off Track Events.

All participants will receive a race shirt, a finisher’s medal, and free breakfast burrito after the event.
