Dairy Discovery 5K & Fun Run

Do you like loopy fun with runny friends where you get to see reindeer on every loop? Yes? Then Sleigh Me Ultras is for YOU! This event takes place at the Shortsville Reindeer Farm and features a one mile loop on foot friendly grass/trail terrain with very little elevation. There are some roots but nothing to climb over. You choose how many miles you want to "rack" up. There will be a fully stocked aid station located in the barn, pizzas at noon, and you are welcome to set up your own station with whatever else you may need. Yes, there really are reindeer! There's chickens too, and honey bees, and maple trees, and a dog named Clancy! Bring your friends and family!

The 48 Hour option starts Friday evening. All other races, you can choose to start at the top of any hour over the weekend! We mark loops by hand. We will mark your start/finish times on the board! Results get loaded on runsignup in spreadsheet format so you can verify your results!

Proceeds from Sleigh Me Ultras benefit ROCovery Fitness! https://www.rocoveryfitness.org/about.html

Bound for the Hounds 6 Hour Ultra is being held to raise funds to support our local dog park! Runners and walkers will have 6 hours to complete as many 2.3 mile out-and-backs of the Manchester Gateway Trail as they choose. The trail is made of packed cinder and pavement (similar to the canal path) and has gentle rollers that seem to grow as the day goes on. *Your canine companions are welcome as long as they are well-behaved on a leash at all times!

*The race director reserves the right to ask a dog's human to remove their dog from the event if any issues arise.
