​​This race is a celebration in memory of our member Charlie Young, an avid runner, cyclist and outdoorsman, who was killed in a bike accident in Colorado in August 2004. Since Charlie always ran without a shirt even in the dead of winter, shirtless (not topless) participants are given a two dollar refund at the finish line. 

Charlie lived in Placitas, so the race is held on a dirt loop course in Placitas with rolling hills in a beautiful pinon/juniper area. Choose the 6 mile run or the 3 mile run/walk. 

A portion of proceeds benefits area non-profit groups.

DIRECTIONS
From Albuquerque, take I-25 north to Exit 242. Go east on Hwy 165  toward the village of Placitas. About 2.6 miles east of I-25 on the south side of the highway will be located a small trailhead/parking area (approximately 1/2 mile east of Homestead Village shopping mall). This will be the location of the race start, packet pickup, and race day registration. Parking is along the shoulders of the highway.
