PACKET PICKUP STARTS AT 6:30 PM AT HOG NECK GOLF COURSE
OPENING CEREMONY STARTS AT 7:30 PM
RUN STARTS AT 8:00 PM
A new twist on an old favorite, this TWILIGHT run will be held at the Hog Neck Golf Course on Saturday, August 22nd. The race will start around sunset (7:30 pm) to ensure that everyone has the full experience. Your course will be lighted by a full moon and by lights on the course. The 5k course will take you from the clubhouse, to the main entrance to the course and on to the cart path to complete your 3.1 mile journey.
THE SUNSET STROLL we are offering walkers a chance to take a short (approximately 1.5 mile), non-competitive walk on the course as the sun sets. This is an opportunity to walk in support of someone with pancreatic cancer or in memory of someone who died from this terrible disease.
All participants (runners and walkers) will receive a race t-shirt, race bib with timing chip and a PURPLE glow stick in remembrance of those who have suffered from the effects of Pancreatic Cancer. We encourage everyone to come out in their best purple garb, to stay with this theme.
This race benefits the Mid-Shore Pancreatic Cancer Foundation, Inc. The mission of the Mid-Shore Pancreatic Cancer Foundation is to provide hope and support for people fighting pancreatic cancer in our community. We are working toward a day when pancreatic cancer will move from being a deadly disease to being a chronic disease. Check out their website at http://www.midshorepancan.org/
5K Awards will be:
Top 2 in each age group: OVERALL MALE, OVERALL FEMALE, 19 and Under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70 and Over
What is with the name?
I thought it would be a cool name for a race in the heat and humidity of late July. It's also because Killens Pond, where the race is held, is part of the Murderkill River. Murderkill comes from the Dutch words of "Moeder" which means "Mother", and "Kille" which is "Creek".
Course
A 3.10-ish mile almost all dirt loop, totally within Killen's Pond State Park. Some roots, rocks (a seashell or so), rubble - but way gentler than most trails, no rainwater and low rise (maybe 80 feet of climb per loop total). Probably a 1/10 on the technical scale. The good news is it will be mostly shaded. Also, if you get too hot, plenty of opportunities to jump in the pond, esp near the boat ramp. Most wear light trail shoes, few wear road running shoes. No need for super technical trail shoes on this course. The only parts that are not trail are the loop around the parking lot that is .28 of a mile and the aluminum footbridge that is probably .2 miles. North portion of Pondside Trail is broad and mostly dirt (sand+organics). Southside portion is single track with some roots. A footbridge is used to cross pond at dam end. All races will start at 8am (ish) at the picnic tables. Loop around the parking lot and proceed on the Connector Trail (.2 miles) by the picnic tables towards the Pondside Nature Trail then turn right onto the Pondside Nature Trail returning on the connector trail to the turnaround at the parking lot. All races will use the “picnic area” There are bathrooms literally 50 yards from the picnic tables in the parking area. Porta-john MAYBE off south portion of trail near the boat ramp area (Sometimes there is one. Sometimes not).Races are self-supported with a community table for sharing any food/drink/aid. Water will be provided. It won’t be cold. But it will be wet.Timing will be manually. I’ll check off your loops and record your finish time.This race is held in "Fat Ass style". No aid guaranteed (except for water). No shirts (except if you paid for one). No medals. No chip timing. You show up, run the distance, and hang out. If you need to be coddled with fully stocked aid stations, plentiful volunteers to help you, etc, this is NOT the run for you. We are decidedly old school in our approach
Park Information
Killen's Pond is about 15 miles south of Dover, DE on U.S. highway 13. It is a beautiful, well maintained park. Every year, we have first timers comment about what a great and beautiful park and trail it is. Turn left (east) on Killen's Pond Road, indicated by brown park sign, to north entrance of park. Continue past water park to first parking lot and picnic tables at far end. Park should open at 0700 (7 am) for us and will close at sunset, around 2015 (8:15PM). The park has no garbage cans; you bring it in, you pack it out.Parking is ample. Unlike Angela Ivory races in January, the “summer season” at Delaware State Parks charges a fee. This fee is included in your entry fee. I will provide you with a ticket/pass when you arrive.We can't thank the park and their staff enough for their continued support of the race and the excellent job they do on the trails.
Entry
Each race is capped at 30 persons. This means 30 for the 50k and 30 the 12 hour option and 30 for the 50 miler. Why? Well, I'm essentially a one-person operation and any more would make it really hard to manage. There is no waitlist. Why? Because I don't feel like managing one.No deferrals or transfers for the same reason above.
Pricing
All races are capped at $40 (Plus Ultrasignup fees). Why $40? It covers your parking, the park permit fees, race insurance, water (yes I have to buy this). plus the cost of opening the park an hour earlier than their usual opening time for you to arrive.Note that any excess funds remaining after the above will be donated to the park, as well. I do not anticipate this amount being very much at all after looking at the numbers.This is a no refund race. No refunds will be given for ANY reason. If you cancel, your funds will be used to pay above and/or donated to the park.
Other
Weather: EXPECT IT TO BE HOT AND HUMID*It is late July, after all.Plenty of picnic tables. Plenty of parking that is literally right next to the course. You can back your car in and crew yourself easily. PLEASE be respectful that we are visitors of this park. The park is open to all and you will see others using the trail, including families and dogs. Unlike the January event, the park will get “crowded”. The waterpark is open, the campgrounds and cabins will be full, etc.Again, it is a "Pack it In, Pack it out" Park. Do NOT litter. If you see trash, pick it up. We will have trashbags at the picnic tables/pavilion.Not much around the park other than farmland, but:For closest hotels, look up either Holiday Inn Express in Harrington, SpringHill Suites in Frederica or hotels in Dover, DE. Harrington/Frederica are a lot closer (10 minute drive in), but Dover has more options (30 minute or so drive in). You could always rent a cabin at Killens Pond or use the campground. Check their website for details, although it might be slim pickings on the cabins in the summer time (Really nice cabins, btw..Bathrooms, heat, a/c, etc).There is a Royal Farms gas/convenience store probably 3 miles from the Park. Google "Royal Farms Felton, DE" for location. There is a BP gas station and convenience store literally 1 mile outside the park, as well This is a rain or shine event. The ONLY exception to this is thunderstorms. In the event of thunderstorms, I WILL pull ALL runners off the course, as you finish your loop. You will NOT be allowed to start another loop if inclement weather is approaching or we are in the midst of. NO EXCEPTIONS. DO NOT DEBATE ME OR ANY PARK OFFICIALS ON THIS. If you disobey this and start another loop, you are violating race rules and will be disqualified. I don’t mess around with runner safety.TIME LIMITS:All races have 12 hour time limits (8pm-ish)

Sanctioned 5K Race

Middletown's longest running 5k. The Peach Festival race signals the original harvest of what was once the largest peach farming area in the Nation. All proceeds benefit the Middletown Athletic Club Scholarship Fund. (read more about the MAC Scholarship here.)
Please be aware, due to construction work in the park, we have had to move the location for registration and modify the course route.
Please use caution walking around the park and beware of construction equipment and uneven surfaces.
Ride beautiful, scenic routes (35, 65 and 100 miles) taking you through flat to gently rolling farmland in central Delaware as the route follows lesser traveled roads from Middletown to Clayton, Hartly, points south, and back. All routes will be marked with route arrows and have Support & Gear (SAG) until 5:00 pm. There are rest stops along the routes at regular intervals, five on the Century route!
Because of the flat, gently rolling terrain that the route follows, this event has become a “right-of-passage” for many cyclists as they take on the challenge of their “First Century Ride“.

About Kenzie
When Mackenzie Rose Beach was born on July 10, 2015, no one knew that this tiny baby possessed the spirit of a warrior. She was a happy little girl, and brought joy to everyone around her, especially her parents, Kate and Andrew, and her big sister, Maddie. However, life as a typical baby came to a screeching halt when, on March 22, 2016, Mackenzie began vomiting and was taken to the Emergency Room, where a scan showed a buildup of fluid as a result of a mass at the base of her brain. Mackenzie underwent surgery to insert a drain for the excess fluid and remove a portion of the tumor for biopsy. The pathology results returned as a malignant cancer, known as Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor (ATRT). This is an extremely rare, aggressive cancer seen in only 3 children out of 1,000,000. Mackenzie endured many brain surgeries and flourished under a protocol by St. Jude, administered at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, DC, involving an experimental drug and chemotherapy. In July
2016, a scan showed the result everyone was praying for – no evidence of disease! As Mackenzie and her family prepared for the next step in the treatment process – traveling to Boston in October 2016 for 6 weeks of radiation – an MRI confirmed the worst possible news. Despite being cancer-free just four months prior, the tumor had returned and spread to other areas in her tiny body. Mackenzie fought with all she had, but she passed away in the arms of her sister, and surrounded by her mother and father, on December 18, 2016.
Kenzie Rose, as she was affectionately known, showed us all what is important in life – family, spending time together, enjoying our blessings, and not taking a single moment for granted. We all hope to make her proud by continuing to live as she would want us to live. To honor her memory, we are organizing this triathlon to raise awareness for childhood cancer and as a fundraiser to support The Mackenzie Rose Foundation. The Foundation was incorporated at the beginning of the year to provide essential items to families experiencing unexpected admissions to the pediatric oncology unit at Children’s National Medical Center. With your generosity, we will be able to fill and deliver care packages containing everyday essentials directly to the hospital. These “Kenzie Kits” will allow parents to spend more time with their sick child instead of worrying about picking up a toothbrush, notebook, or snack - all things that are often forgotten with an unexpected hospital admission. All proceeds
from this event will fund the Foundation to help provide comfort and support to other families dealing with this devastating disease.
