Trail runners, take your mark: you don't want to miss this one. The Chasin' for Chalfin trail race, which this year has been expanded from a 10K to a 15K, will be held on Saturday morning, July 20. The course winds through the "fair hunting country" of the astonishingly beautiful Runnymede estate outside of Springdell and includes "hills, vistas, and creek crossings." There's also a 5K trail run for fun and a 3K on-road fun run/walk.
The race benefits our friend Jake Chalfin, who was seriously injured in a steeplechase accident in September 2010 and gets around now using a wheelchair and van.
This is the final leg of the series sponsored by Trail Creek Outfitters in the Glen Eagle Shopping Center.
You can register online until July 17. Onsite registration is from 7:30 to 8:15 a.m. on the day of the race. Race time is 8:30 a.m.
(In other Jake sporting news, the Third Annual Chasin' for Chalfin polo match and BBQ will be on July 14 at the Brandywine Polo Club, 232 Polo Rd. in Toughkenamon. Gates open at 1 p.m. Match starts at 3.)
