Open Doors Outdoors’ final event of the year – let’s also make it our biggest!
Burn off those Thanksgiving feast calories with this off-road adventure through the beautiful farm lands of South Glastonbury beginning and ending at the Hops on the Hill Brewery.
Ruck or run your choice of distances including 5k or 5-mile, then enjoy a fabulous finish line party with endless bowls of chili (meat and veggie options), s’mores and a freshly-brewed pint from Hops on the Hill Brewery (non-alcoholic beverages available too).Finishers receive a cool finisher's patch (ruck) or medal (run).
Race is professionally timed and the top Male & Female Finishers in each event win a pair of Hoka shoes of their choice (up to $180 value) courtesy of Fleet Feet Glastonbury while 2nd & 3rd place win ODO swag.
Runners start at 10:00am; Ruckers at 10:05am and Kids Run at 11:15am
Ruckers: Standard ruck weights are 20# for men and 10# for women. You do not need a special ruck pack - a weight vest or even a backpack loaded with weight works. In fact, we encourage you to load your backpack with canned goods and/or peanut butter that can then be donated to Veterans Basecamp's food pantry.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! Don't want to run/ruck? Consider volunteering. Select your role here: https://runsignup.com/Race/Volunteer/CT/SouthGlastonbury/ODOGobblerRunRuck. All volunteers get access to the after party (chili, beverage, s'mores) and will be entered into a raffle for prizes as well.
Registration fee is $40 - day of registration is $45. Patch/medal are NOT guaranteed for those who register after November 15.
Packet Pick-up will be available on Friday, Nov 27 at Fleet Feet Glastonbury.
