COLORADO SPRINGS, CO, February 20, 2014 (Press-News.org) Bigwig Races, a Colorado Springs-based promoter of 5K and 10K races, announced today that the Hams and Hamstrings 5K race planned for April 20 will start and finish at the 7-Eleven at 7718 E. Woodmen Road in Colorado Springs.
7-Eleven East Woodmen is located north of Woodmen Road, just west of Marksheffel Road. The store opened in December 2012.
"This is a great event to bring to 7-Eleven and for the community," said Carol Spoden, franchise owner of the 7-Eleven store. "We're happy to be a part of the race and the community and we look forward to greeting hundreds of new faces at our store."
The race course starts in front of the 7-Eleven store and goes south on the trail until looping back at the Stetson Hills Open Space to return to the store. The course is mostly on a groomed gravel trail and will be certified by USA Track & Field. "The trail is perfect for running and the area is quiet and peaceful," said Curtis Claar, Bigwig Races co-founder and race event director of the event. "I'm not sure a lot of people have discovered this trail. But we have."
The Hams and Hamstrings 5K, billed as "Colorado's Easter Day 5K," is open to serious runners, walkers, teens and families. Costume prize winners and first, second and third place finishers will take home an Easter ham as their prize.
The event drew more than 400 runners in 2012, its first year but was not held in 2013. "We learned a lot our first year and are confident our 2014 event will be smoother and a lot of fun," Claar said. "Our new course is a little more traditional than the old course, so it should have a broader appeal."
Complete race information and registration for the race is available at hamsandhamstrings.com
