Pecan Classic Virtual Race

Originally presenting two options for a jaunt along False River—a one mile fun run/walk or a four mile race—this year's New Roads Pecan Classic Race will be conducted virtually, giving all registered participants the opportunity to run, jog, or walk either a one-mile or four-mile course of their choosing, receive the official New Roads Pecan Classic shirt, and continue the tradition of promoting family, fun, health, and fitness throughout the community. How does it work, you ask? First, register for either the one- or four-mile race online (if you have registered prior to the virtual race transition, you will have the option to withdraw for a refund). Then, record your selected race results on any running app (like Map My Run), watch (like Garmin), or electronic file before the deadline. Go to the park, run on a treadmill, or throughout your neighborhood; the choice is up to you.  Then, after your run, submit your results (time and distance) on the designated Google form (you will receive an email with submission information). If you do not have a Google account, simply send your results (e.g., picture of time and distance on watch, screenshot of your running app) to the timer, Bertha Lanthier, at blanthier54@aol.com). You can run your selected race as many times as you want, but you are only allowed one submission.  Please send videos and/or pictures to marketing director, Aimee Moreau (aimeeblsu@gmail.com) so that the Pecan Classic team can share your accomplishments on social media. After all results have been submitted, overall and division winners will be announced. The last day to submit your run is Tuesday, June 30.
