Additional Information

3 RACE SERIES: The BFA 10K at Sea Trail is the first in a 3-Race Series followed by the First Bank Oktoberfest 15K at Brunswick Forest on October 14th and the Carolina Sports Medicine Battleship Half Marathon on November 4th. Athletes who do all three races (including Walkers) will recieve a prize package including items from local running stores and our other sponsors. Check out www.5starraceproductions.com for information about the series. The BFA 10K, 5K and 1-mile Fun Run at Sea Trail by itself will be fun and challenging but adding the race to a 3-race series with each distance increasing seems like a great way to motivate runners to prepare for longer distances gradually and enjoy doing it, while receiving a nice prize package in the process.
