John Clady

6 Mile Run + 3 Mile Run/Walk
​Placitas, New Mexico - Forest Loop Road

​​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. 

A portion of proceeds benefits area non-profit groups.
​

---

​Choose the 6 miler​, a challenging run around the full Forest Loop Road, or the 3 miler, out-and-back on rolling hills.
​

​Unique awards will be presented to Overall Male and Female finisher in both races, and to the top 3 finishers in each category of each event.
Youth:  1-39
Masters:  40-49
Grand-Masters:  50-59
Seniors:  60-69
Geezers:  70+​

Enjoy refreshments, including breakfast burritos!

The first 200 registrants receive a commemorative shirt.

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.

​Please use caution when driving and walking along the road!
