This spring, enjoy a run on Woodbury’s beautiful trails.
Take in the views of Woodbury’s many scenic lakes during Athena Clydesdale Racing’s Woodbury Lakes Half Marathon, 10K and 5K on May 9. Each race kicks off at Colby Lake Park and circles Powers, Markgrafs and Wilmes lakes before ending back at the starting point.
“It’s so fun to see everyone come out there [and see] all different kinds of runners, from the super fast [runners] to the ones out there to just complete it [and] people being with friends and family,” says Brooke Selb, Athena Clydesdale Racing co-owner and race director (athenaclydesdaleracing.com).
Races start at staggered times with the half-marathon beginning at 8 a.m., 10K at 8:30 a.m. and 5K at 9 a.m. A post-race celebration is scheduled for each race and includes snacks and music. Each runner will receive a hand-cut, engraved wooden medal, and an awards ceremony for the top three male and female finishers of each race will follow the races.
“We have an incredible community of runners, and this town is just a wonderful place to put on these events,” Selb says. “We’re so thankful to everyone to keep coming out there and helping us.”
