There is day of registration available, which opens at 7:15 AM. Buses begin leaving for the start at 8:15 am. The Charlie Horse is not your typical race. It part trail, part road, and part adventure. It has everything a masochist runners needs. We start at rustic park in Birdboro, PA with a sprint through a river. We meander through the park with an attention deficit disorder (cant decide up or down) for about 2 miles. From there we climb up to the horseshoe trail to start a beautiful 7 miles were we run through trail and farms. The trail then pops out in house development at mile 9. Say hi to the neighbors as the cheer you on and spray you down. This is the start of the road section. But like everything else with this race, it has its own character. After climbing up to the development, you get a break, a downhill section. Wee. But everything the goes down must come up. I think thats the way it goes, at least for runners. To translate, we start the uphill section of the road. When you get to the top at mile 11 youre at Charlies where the adventure begins. Its a mystery to us too: lagoons; waterfall; campers; hiker; teenagers, maybe some chores. The only certainty is rocks, mud, and fun. Finally finishing at sleepy hollow where the pool, food, music, drinks, and friends will be waiting. Hope to see you there.

Despite a high cure rate for those who are diagnosed early, there are currently no effective treatments for melanoma once it has invaded the body. Unfortunately, melanoma research has suffered from a lack of funding in recent years, despite the growing incidence of the disease. In fact, there has not been a major initiative to target melanoma in over a decade. The Noreen ONeill Foundation for Melanoma Research is dedicated to raising awareness about melanoma and funding research into increased prevention, early detection, and new treatments.
