Woody's Tortoise and Hare

Woody's Tortoise and Hare is a unique running event held in Fountain, Colorado, designed as a handicap race that levels the playing field based on participants' age, gender, height, and weight. This 5K race allows slower runners, or "Tortoises," to start ahead of faster runners, or "Hares," creating an exciting dynamic where everyone has a chance to win. The race emphasizes conditioning and training over traditional speed metrics.

Participants receive a calculated handicap that determines their starting time, making for a closely contested finish. The event promotes inclusivity and fun, encouraging runners of all abilities to compete. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
