About this race

Who was Stingy Jack? History.com taught me about this Irish myth. Stingy Jack is believed to have led to the tradition of carving scary faces into gourds. According to the legend, Jack tricks the Devil into paying for his drink and then traps him in the form of a coin. The Devil eventually takes revenge, and Stingy Jack ends up roaming Earth for eternity without a place in heaven or hell. Jack does, however, have a lighted coal, which he places inside a carved turnip, creating the original Jack-o-lantern. Let’s ensure he’s not the only one getting his roaming in. Get out there, get those muscles in motion, and grab a 5k. Complete your 3.1 miles and log your time on the honor system back here at the website.
