Run From the Ducks—A Good Training Run

Across the Years alumnus Tony Mathison has written to inform us about his 8-hour fixed time race Run From the Ducks, held at the Clark Gardens Botanical Park, located at 567 Maddux Road, Weatherford, Texas. He suggests it might make a good training run for Across the Years runners.

The race seems to be held in September sometime, though I couldn't confirm that from the information on the Web site, but if you dig around on the site I'm sure you'll eventually find everything you need. In any case, there is contact information, by means of which you should be able answer any questions.

Accordingly, we are happy to make this information available to ATY runners who might be interested.

Run From The Ducks
Eight Hour Run
Saturday, Sept. 23, 2008

Clark Botanical Gardens
PO Box 276 Mineral Wells, Texas

Race director: Tony Mathison
325-646-6807

A .44 mile course that winds around the beautiful flora, fauna, and ducks of Clarks Botanical Gardens. Ducks have the right of way.

The Web site is not updated in general, for example, the 2008 date cannot be found on the Web site as of 8-11-08; however, the 2008 registration form is up. Go to the left nav bar and click on Register. It has to be mailed in.

Fee: $40 before Weds. Aug. 27; $50 afterwards. It doesn’t say but I believe you can register the day of the race but you won’t get a T-shirt.

Proceeds benefit the building of a Vietnam War Museum.

Tony did post to the North Texas Trail Runners Web list, which is where I obtained the info not on the Web site.

See you there,
