LITTLE OWL 5K RACE
May 25th 2024 @ 9am ET, Audubon Acres
2024 Race InformationThis race is a fantastic introduction to trail running for the novice and other than one hill, it is a flat and fast course for the speed demons looking to set a personal best time. The course is 100% on a dirt trail with the exception of a suspension bridge over South Chickamauga Creek. This race is open to anyone traveling at any speed. However, this is a race and not a guided hike. Please be considerate of the volunteers' time and do not sign up if you are planning to hike at a leisurely pace. The race will be followed by post race snacks, beverages and free admission to Little Owl Fairy House Festival
All of the proceeds will benefit these two great, local non-profit organizations: Audubon Acres - Educate and promote an understanding of the responsibility to preserve and protect our environmental, cultural, and historical resources through programming and stewardship. Wild Trails - Encourage and promote a healthy and active lifestyle through trail running, hiking, paddling and other forms of outdoor recreation and advocate to protect and preserve natural spaces used for such activities.

Awards
1st-3rd in male and female overall
Headphones
We strongly discourage the use of headphones during this race for the reason of safety. Not only is it more challenging to hear other runners, but more difficult to communicate with our race marshals and volunteers along the course. In short, we ask all runners to be as safe and courteous as possible.
Dogs
We are sorry to say that we do not allow dogs. We all love dogs and it would be so great to have them join us but there have been too many dog fights and runners being tripped up by dogs on or off leash.
Registration changes/transfers
No refunds or transfers. Race numbers may not be transferred to another race or another person.
SPONSORS
Please, oh please do all you can to support our amazing sponsors. They are more than sponsors, they deeply care about our nature trails and waterways and are doing stuff to make them better.
