Wild Moose Chase Trail Run debuts at Mount Spokane

OUTDOOR FITNESS -- A new event, the Wild Moose Chase Trail Run, debuts Sept. 24 at Mount Spokane State Park, with 5k, 10k and 25k courses start from Selkirk Lodge.
 
The event is organized by Eastern Washington University physical therapy students.
 
"We think this race will be a spectacular opportunity for folks to enjoy being outdoors with their families in one of the greatest places Spokane has to offer -- the beautiful Mount Spokane State Park in the fall," said
Meghan Faulkenberry, race director.
 
The 25k event starts at 9 a.m. followed by the other events, the last of which is the family-friendly 5K starting at 10:15. The runs head out on loops over the cross-country ski trails.
 
Register through Active.com before Wednesday (Sept. 14) to avoid a late fee or visit the race website, http://www.wildmoosechasetrailrun.com for a mail-in registration.
 
Day of race registration is also available, with a $5 late fee and no guarantee of a shirt.
 
Group awards and overall awards for participants are planned, as well as sponsor giveaways.
