    Race Director: Julie Zimmerman / Co Director: Adrianne Thompson

    From the RD: You have to pick your distance for this event. You have 5 hours to complete as many miles as you can. You may choose the Lake Mingo Trail and/or the Howl Loop. The categories for each level are as follows: Fat Ass- 28.4 miles; Large Ass- 21.3 miles; Average Ass – 14.2 miles; Small Ass – 7.1 miles; Baby Ass – 3.29 miles (howl loop); No Ass – Just here to party

    You can change your distance at any time during the day. This event is a PIG RESCUE. What does this mean? Some of our Fat A$$es tried to run their first Fat Ass and got stuck on the Lake Mingo Trail and need your help to finish. So as you run, keep your eyes open and if you see one, grab them and bring them back for a prize. If you find the “Golden Pig” you will win a Free Howl at the Moon Entry. So have fun and good luck.

    Fun Facts:

    • Adult pigs can run at speeds of 11 mph, or in other words, they can run a 7 minute mile. Could you do any better?

    • If you’ve ever suggested that someone was “sweating like a pig”, then you’d be wrong. Pigs have hardly any sweat glands, and one of the best ways for them to cool down is to wallow in all of the glorious mud.

    • Pigs appear to have good sense of direction and have found their way home over great distances.
