About the event

The SPACE RACE
REGISTRATION OPEN NOW: www.geaugaparkdistrict.org/activity/special-events-art-shows

As the sun goes down on the first week of October, run, jog or walk as many course laps as you can in our two-hour race time frame. Each completed lap will equate to celestial travel — for example, one .85-mile lap takes you to Mercury, four laps and you’ve arrived on Mars, 10 laps gets you to Pluto, and so on. In this way, you will actually be racing yourself to see how far out of this world you can go!

Participants can race against each other, sure. But most will just be racing themselves to see just how far “out of this world” they can go. Consider that one lap is just under a mile, but all 16 possible laps (13.6 miles) are just over a half marathon!

Space is limited, with race T-shirts guaranteed only for the first 250 to register, so sign up early for $20 or on race day beginning at 2 p.m. for $25. Everyone who completes at least one lap will earn a Space Race finishers medal plus a ribbon recognizing how far you went and which planet you reached. Awards will also be earned by the top three male and female finishers.

Get yourselves ready, park friends, for a race like no other...
