19th Annual Martha Walker Wild Duck 5K XC Race

Online registration is available until 8/22/2024 at 5:00 pm.  After that you will need to register at the event on race day. 

A fun course where you will run through all of Guajome Park. There are some rolling hills (no "big hill"), fields of grass and views of the lake and ducks. This is a unique cross country course; it is made for speed and negative splits with its fast downhill sections and a flat fast finish. Every 1/4 mile marked. Start and finish are located at the Lower Picnic Area. This is the ORIGINAL COURSE!
