All races are on bucolic country roads that have runners passing a horse farm, a waterfall, a rail road bridge, wetlands, streams, lakes, a historic schoolhouse circa 1789, while finishing in beautiful New Pond Farm. The course can be categorized as rolling (with no hills that would be classified as long or cruel), but, there are also plenty of miles of flat running, so runners should have no problem settling into a comfortable pace. The Kids' Fun runs of one mile and a half mile (both entirely on New Pond Farm grounds) will occur following the completion of the other three races (approximately 11am). Runners of every race will receive a gorgeous, in-house designed, 3" finishers medal, a 50/50 wicking, race tЃ]shirt and numerous other special surprise race goodies. It is our goal to have the Redding Road Race be the friendliest and best supported race of it's kind in this area, or any area, for that matter, while benefitting New Pond Farm and it's wonderful programs.
