Here’s a primer to Sir Walter Running Strava Challenges, and here’s past Strava Challenges, if you want to “explore the back catalog.”
What is it? The “Toe the Line” 2k is a sampler of the Championship 5k course at WakeMed Soccer Park. The Nike Cross Nationals Regional Championship will be held on this course Saturday, November 30. This will give people a chance to run the first 2000 meters of the course. The course has also hosted the ACC Cross Country Championship, the Great American Cross Country Festival, and more!
What is Toe the Line? “Toe the Line” is a 4.2% gluten-reduced ale brewed with lime and sea salt by our friends at Pursuit Ales, an offshoot of Bond Brothers Beer Co. Pursuit has collaborated with us for the release, and will also be sponsoring the 2020 Raleigh Half Marathon! Join us at Bond Brothers Beer Co., located at 202 E Cedar St, Cary, NC 27511, on Friday, November 30th from 2-4pm for the release. There will be fun raffles, giveaways, and La Republica Food Truck will be on-site all day, starting at noon.
Where do I park? WakeMed Soccer Park is located at 940 E Chatham St, Cary, NC 27511. If by chance the gate is locked, you can park near the Bojangles down the road (about 1/4 mile) at 840 E Chatham St, Cary, NC 27511 (or wherever you can find a spot closeby).
Where do I start? The starting line! The first 300 meters (or so) are downhill, on the grass.
Where do I run after the start? The course is pretty self explanatory, but below are some key landmarks to watch for. If you want to run multiple loops, the finish of the 2k is about 200 meters from the starting line.
When can I run? Anytime between now and 2pm on Friday, November 29, which is the start of the “Toe the Line” release party at Bond Brothers Beer Co. in Cary. RSVP on Facebook and join us!
Where will I see the standings? Below and on Strava (make sure you filter to “Sir Walter Running” and “This Week”)!
What do I win? All participants who attend the release party will recieve a Raleigh Half Marathon / Sir Walter Running koozie. The fastest Male and Female times will win a Sir Walter Running Squirrel Shirt, and the person who does the most loops at once will get a 4 pack of “Toe the Line” (21+ only – if you’re under, we’ll get you a shirt of your choice)!
