If you’re a nerd, this is the race for you! It’s also the race for you if you’re not a nerd, but like running and pie.
Trail run on a smooth, fast course with a few hills sprinkled in for fun. This is a three-loop course, alternating between counter clockwise and clockwise directions. There will be a single aid station located at the trail head. Runners will pass the aid station twice, at 5-mile intervals. Water, sports drink and fruit will be available at the aid station. All participants receive a short-sleeved technical shirt. After the race, enjoy some homemade pie at the finish line!
Q: What’s Pi Day?
A: Pi Day is a holiday held to celebrate the mathematical constant π, 3.1415… It is held on March 14th (3/14). Get it? π (sometimes written pi) is a mathematical constant whose value is the ratio of any circle’s circumference to its diameter in Euclidean space. -source http://www.wikipedia.org/
Q: Why is the name of your race so long??
A: 1) For enhancing the nerdiness of the race. The abbreviation of the title is πR², the area of a circle. 2) Alliteration is fun. River Rotation.
Q: Why isn’t the race 3.1415… miles?
A: Because I wanted it to be longer darnit! More fun. :)
Awards: Top 3 overall male/female receive commemorative yet functional awards!
