STICK HORSE RACE
At 7:00 pm, children ages 10 and under are invited to join in a Stick Horse Race before the 5K race. Each child will get their very own stick horse to race and keep. We will also have a special parents' stick horse race as well.
You don't need to sign up for this in advance, but we are interested in whether you want to participate (so we can get a general head count). You'll actually sign up (and sign a waiver) on race night for the Stick Horse Race.
The cost to participate is $5. Payment for the Stick Horse Race will be made on the night of the race (cash or credit/debit card accepted).
Join fellow runners on August 14, 2026 for the Back The Track 5K & Woodford Track Challenge. It's a fantastic 5K, 1.6K featuring a flat and fast course in Versailles.
