About Cow Chip Cross Country Run for the 33rd year!

Were you with us?? PICTURES FROM 2023- https://www.ctpost.com/seen/article/seen-cow-chip-country-run-trumbull-2023-18509713.php?src=rdctpdensecp 


Work off your high caloric Thanksgiving overindulgence with a great 3+ mile (5K) run on the trails, grass & campus around the Trumbull High-Agricultural Center. No traffic, gentle hills, & maybe some mud & slush if Mother Nature cooperates.

 

Our run includes great long-sleeved shirts, post race food & fluids, some crazy prizes & leftovers for awards from at least 15 other races (and maybe from some tag sales). Basically, it's anything we can find to keep costs down and have some fun.

 

UNFORTUNATELY WE CAN’T GET THE KEEPSAKE COW KEY CHAINS THAT POOP WHEN YOU SQUEEZE THEM. BLAME IT ON THE COVID SUPPLY CHAIN, TARIFFS or a CONSPIRACY.  NOBODY HAS THEM- if you find any please let me know! 

We will have something cow related but unfortunately they won’t poop this year…

 

And the kids MAY each get one if they participate in the FREE Kids Cow Patty Fun Run.

 

Last year the ages of participants ranged from 7 to 80+. Wear your old running shoes if you are concerned about such things.
Overall M&F are separate from our age groups, Age groups awards for 1st & 2nd place only-
9 & under, 10-13, 14-18, 19-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79 & 80+ IF an 80+ is pre registered...

 

Believe it or not, this event was once voted "One of the most unique races in CT"  by some very interesting people who regularly dress as cows & other brown mammals.

 

Our proceeds will be given to Infinite Love for Kids Fighting Cancer in the name of Mia McCaffrey. Any extra ca$h benefits the THS Girls Cross Country team.

 

It is with a heavy heart that we dedicate a portion of the proceeds of the Cow Chip Cross Country in the name of forever 6-year-old Mia Rose McCaffrey, to Infinite Love for Kids Fighting Cancer. Mia was as brave and strong as she was caring and beautiful. Pediatric Cancer stole this little girl from us all and we will use this event to #MakeItAmazing in her name. Pediatric Cancer Research only receives 4% of the national cancer research funding. Infinite Love for Kids Cancer is a foundation that is dedicated to raising funds to improve the quality and quantity of treatment options for Childhood Cancers. This year they are committed to raising $250,000 to invest in research specific to Neuroblastoma. Through your registration, optional donation, and/ or sponsorship you are helping people, you are educating people, and you are providing people with the most precious thing one person can give another – HOPE! Thank you for being a part of the solution with us!  Co- director & THS Girls Xctry coach Jim McCaffrey

Like most of us- WE ARE FACING INVENTORY AND SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES and our printers are closed on Thanksgiving for the weekend.

Thanks to the THS girls cross country team you will be treated to baked goods, cookies, and brown post-race snacks! We do have a nice indoor spot at the Trumbull High Agricultural Center- but come dressed ready to run and stay warm if necessary.

 

The course is usually designed and determined the week before the race so we won't have a course map till then!

 

Fun & crazy prizes as the race directors clean out their basement to make room for winter storage.

Timing by Jim Gerweck/Club CT ("Accuracy is our middle name, Questionable is our first!").

 

Plenty of outdoor parking and indoor plumbing!
