10K preteky v blízkosti Shasta Lake

Redding Breakfast Lions Turtle Bay Run, čo je každý rok na jeseň, štartuje a končí pri Sundial Bridge v Redding, California. Môžeš si vybrať z half marathonu, 10K alebo 2-mile behu/prechádzky. Organizujú to Redding Breakfast Lions Club ako zbierku, a výťažok ide na podporu miestnych bežeckých programov. Ten kratší beh/prechádzka je super aj pre mladších a starších, a školské tímy môžu prihlásiť bežcov za zníženú cenu. Trať half marathonu vedie popri Sacramento River, prechádzaš cez Sundial Bridge, Ribbon Bridge a Diestelhorst Bridge. Bežíš na sever po spevnených parkových cestách, prejdeš rieku cez Ribbon Bridge, dáš si 2-mile out-and-back na Middle Creek Trail, a potom sa vraciaš po River Trail a cez Diestelhorst Bridge, kým neskončíš zasa pri Sundial Bridge. Aj 10K ide popri rieke. Obe trate, aj half marathon, aj 10K, sú certifikované. Aj keď tam chodia bežci z rôznych kútov krajiny, akcia si drží taký lokálny ráz, je to celé v réžii klubu, zamerané na zbieranie peňazí a je to proste súčasťou toho Redding’s river trail systému.

Nail the Rail is part of the Miles in Martinsville race series in Martinsville, Virginia. It offers distances from a 5K and 10K up to a half marathon, alongside rail-trail races such as the 5 Miler and 9 Miler. The series funds outreach programs by the Martinsville-Henry County Virginia Family YMCA and Activate MHC. Awards and incentives are given across the entire challenge, not just for individual events. The Nail the Rail 5 Miler and 9 Miler begin at the Virginia Ave Trailhead on the Dick and Willie Passage. The 5-mile course ascends before the turnaround, then provides a downhill or flat final 2.5 miles. The 9-mile course includes an additional climb, descent, and a second climb before the same faster finish. The main objective is to complete the 9 miles in 60 minutes or less. However, older participants can achieve the Golden Railroad Spike by meeting age-adjusted goals based on USATF age grading. For instance, a 70-year-old woman finishing in 1:30 is comparable to a 25-year-old man running 60 minutes, allowing for competition across different age groups without assuming identical race conditions.
