7th Annual Veterans Heritage Ridge Run Event - 5K Trail Run, 10K Ruck Race & Family Fun Walk @ Sharps Ridge

This annual event is a fundraiser with proceeds supporting the construction and upkeep of Sharps Ridge Veterans Memorial Park. The event start point is at the Lincoln Park Technology Trade School, 535 Chickamauga Ave. The courses proceed in a loop on the well marked hiking trails of Sharps Ridge that meander through largely wooded and hilly terrain. Participants can choose from three options for this event; a 5K timed trail run, a 1 mile family fun walk and supporting, but sleeping. All events take place on the Sharps Ridge trails. Registration will open at 8 AM and each race will start at 9 AM.

This race has included a virtual run option as part of their package of events. The virtual option will be available as a run anywhere course event. That means that a registrant for the virtual option will be able to run the course that they choose for this for option. There will be a window of time that the course can be ran and the distance will be defined as part of the option. In other words if a race offers a virtual option, a participant in that event can run the virtual course that they choose as many times as they choose over the time window offered. The participant will be able to post their time to the RunSignup results page for the virtual event. If they post several times, their last time posted will be the time listed in the results. Virtual participants will be automatically assigned a virtual bib number when they register. The bib number assigned will be included in their online registration confirmation email. They will not actually receive a physical bib as the number is only required when they post their results to the RunSignup results page. Participants in the virtual event will receive a race shirt, but must pick up their shirt at the early packet pickup (if offered) or at the day of race packet pickup. Virtual participants are not eligible for awards.
