Annual Coyote Chase Race set for Nov. 14
Lace up your running shoes and join Weatherford College for the 33rd Annual Coyote
Chase Race on Saturday, Nov. 14.
Participants of all ages are encouraged to take part in either the 5K race or the 1-mile race, both starting at 9 a.m. on the Weatherford campus.
Registration is $15 in advance for children ages 12 and under and $20 on race day. Participants ages 13 and older may register for $25 in advance or $30 on race day.
Pre-registered runners will receive a long-sleeved, microfiber T-shirt.
Packet pickup and on-site registration will be available Friday, Nov. 13, from noon to 4 p.m. and again on race day from 7:30 to 8:45 a.m. Both will be held in the Alkek Fine Arts Center.
RunTime Racing Services will handle the event’s timing and course layout, and those who opt in will be able to use RunTime’s chip-timing technology.
First Financial Bank and First Financial Trust will continue to provide trophies and medals for the event, a service the bank has provided every year since the race’s inception in the mid-1990s. The top three finishers in more than 40 age categories will receive medals. Categories include all ages for the 5K and up to age 12 for the 1-mile.
The event will feature the popular School Challenge, which rewards participation from local schools. The school with the most registered runners will earn its physical education teacher $300 in supplies. Second place will receive $200, and third place will receive $100.
All proceeds from the race benefit WC Foundation scholarships.
Additional sponsors are Upright Building Company, Imperial Construction, Medical City Weatherford, Follow Our Lead, Wayne Hodges Trailer Sales, Gough Wealth Management, Jacy Guynes State Farm Insurance and ClearSky Rehabilitation Hospital of Weatherford.
“We are grateful for our sponsors and community for their ongoing support of this great event,” said Susan Sodek, advancement specialist. “We hope to see you at this year’s race, and make sure to stick around after the run for more food and fun.”
