Panola Push Pedal Run

Panola Push Pedal Run is held in Carthage, Texas, beginning and ending at the Panola Chamber of Commerce (300 W Panola St). The event features five distances: a 1 Mile Run/Walk, a 5K Run/Walk, and bike rides of 6 Miles, 30 Miles, and 100K. Each distance uses a unique loop through the pineywoods of deep East Texas and is run on road courses that are fully marked and supported.

The organizers emphasize a scenic, friendly atmosphere with aid stations, photography, and finisher medals; top prizes are awarded for the 100K and other distances. Helmet use is required for bikes. Shirts are offered by preorder through October 7. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
