BACK ONCE AGAIN!!!

RACE THE COURSE 5K/10K

LEPRECHAUNS ON THE LINKS

SUPPORTING ACCESSIBILITY FOR ALL TO LMT PARKS

Back once again, join us for the 4th running of the Lower Makefield Township "Race the Course 5K & 10K" on Saturday, March 14th. This year just in time for St. Patty's Day. This event is open to all individuals and supports Lower Makefield Parks and Recreation in their continued goal to improve disability access to township parks for all individuals.

Unique about this event, it is run on the cart paths of the Makefield Highlands Golf Club in Yardley, PA. This is very special as most golf courses never allow runners or walkers on the course. If you have never played golf there, Makefield Highlands is a beautiful property residing on the former Pleasant Valley Estate Farm with history traced to the early eighteenth century.

The 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk will be contained mostly on the flatter front 9 holes of the golf course, while the 10K will start on the front 9 but finish on the back nine holes of the golf course which has a few more challenging hills.

All paying participants registered by March 1st will receive a custom designed Race the Course shirt in their preferred size and the first 200 paid registrations will also receive a custom designed Race the Course medal. Shirts are not guaranteed for those registering after March 1st. We will have a limited number of extra shirts while supplies last.

Note: We ordered extra medals - as of 3/2 we still have lots of medals and shirts available! But register now before they are gone!

We encourage everyone to wear St. Patrick's Day themed attire.

    This walk is hosted by Linconia Community Center to support those who have been affected by cancer. Our purpose is to help raise awareness of various types of cancer, promote an understanding of how important healthy eating and lifestyles contribute to preventing, tackling, and defeating the disease. Black and brown people are at greater risk of losing the battle due to lack of awareness, access to foods that offer greater nutritional value, healthcare depravity, and their own cultural values. Destined to Win Cancer Walk is designed to support people of all ethnic backgrounds. LCC looks forward to seeing you at the walk.

    From Washington Crossing, the loop travels north on the towpath to Cente Bridge over to Stockton, NJ, then south on the towpath to the Scudders Falls Bridge in Yardley, then back to Washington Crossing General Greene Pavilion.

    It's required that a representative of each new team drives the course once. We offer tours upon request.

    Note: the course is subject to change or cancellation due to weather, construction, and other factors beyond our control.

    Estimated 53.0 miles = two 26.5-mile loops, mostly on the towpath.

    Two Bridge Crossings: Centre Bridge from PA to Stockton, NJ. Scudders Falls from NJ to Yardley, PA.

    Some Basic Rules: Teams switch runners at the below approved exchanges only at legal

    stops/parking spots. Runners can run multiple legs in a row per team strategy, and multiple runners can run a leg together if you choose. This is for fun.

    There is no parking or stopping on NJ Route 29 shoulders or on PA Route 32 other than legal lots/spots. We have permits to use the route, and we must follow both state laws.

    Teams are responsible for their own running and support supplies.
