Hello everyone!

We hope everyone is having a great fall and enjoying the beautiful weather! This year we will continue the turkey shark chase tradition: Details are all below!

Please remember to sign up to bring something to share post-race if you are coming:) Signup is below! Also feel free to share with everyone and anyone you have visiting, neighbors, and friends to run on Thanksgiving morning together in our annual Rockshire Shark-Turkey Chase! Here are the details:

What: 10th Annual Shark-Turkey Chase

When: Thursday, November 26 at 9:30am , meet at 9:15am

Where: Meet at the poolhouse! We have an adjusted route this year with the construction. It looks as though there are paved areas to exit even with construction so we won’t need to cross wootton.

Who: All Shark families, neighbors, and friends

Why: to get moving and have fun on the morning of Thanksgiving together!

Please feel free to sign up here to bring something to share for breakfast after the race:

Post race food signup

***Please also feel free to bring 2 or more canned goods in lieu of an entry fee for the Greg Gannon food drive that supports local food pantries***

The Route: I will put up a couple signs throughout the race. It’s very simple, just three left turns. (course below)

Water Station: We are working on a water station! More Details to follow.

Race Course:

START: at the top of the stairs at the poolhouse, exit toward the traffic light and turn an immediate left(traffic light on wootton). Follow wootton parkway uphill towards Falls Road and take a left on Fallsmead Way. Follow all the way up and turn left on Watts Branch parkway. Follow around until you pass the gas station. Turn left on Hurley. Turn Left onto Wootton Parkway right where we started and where we will have our post-race breakfast. If it rains, we will move all breakfast items and instead have our postrace feast in the poolhouse.

One last thing:

There are going to be a lot of people running/walking different paces. Please make sure to coordinate with your individual groups if you get split up. I plan on having a few quick runners to run ahead of the group so they will be at the cars at the end of the race to share all the yummy food. I will have my cell with me the whole time.

Also, there will be no port-a-pottys, so please use the restroom BEFORE you arrive.

Happy fall y’all!!

Best,

Kat and Patrick,
