| Pigeon River Classic 2012 |
New for 2012We’ve added a half marathon distance this year! In addition the race will employ chip timing to generate results quickly for all participants. All races will still start and finish in beautiful Olen Park. Each race course follows roads along the banks of the Pigeon River. All courses are mostly flat and fast except for a short section of gently rolling hills on the ½ marathon and 10K course. 2012 Pigeon River Classic Event Schedule
