    Are you swift enough to outpace the legendary Sasquatch? Get ready to hit the roads right outside of Springfield, MO for the most thrilling warm race of the year – "Running From Squatch!" 🌲👟🌲

    Did you know? Sasquatch, often known as Bigfoot, is a mythical creature from North American folklore.
