In addition to the Spring into Summer Series, TRL runs its annual Tour de Goose series, composed of a string of sometimes goofy events, described on our “Racing” page. This year’s series has seven events with prizes to the winners of each stage, and an overall prize to the series winner. Details are on the Racing page.
The most recent event was the “Trivial Pursuit Pursuit,” in which runners chased each other around a 430m or so loop, at the end of which they had to answer a Trivial Pursuit question. If they got it wrong, they ran a 100m penalty lap and tried again (though after 3 misses, they got to advance).
Next up is the Goose “handicapper” in which runners’ flat 5K times are used to predict their times on the hill from Goose Hollow to Fairview. Faster flat 5K runners have to wait, while slower flat 5K runners get a head start. So, who’s the best hill climber? Fast on the flat rarely wins.
Meanwhile, here are the current standings.
