Torrey's Brand New Redrock Race!

Mark your calendar now and get in shape because Torrey Town is sponsoring a 5K-10K race/walk as a fundraiser for Christmas lights for our trees on Main Street. Wayne County Travel Council, Wayne Athletic Inc., and USU Extension Service are co-sponsoring the race with Torrey Town.  We hope in the future that this event will become an annual run to help with fundraising projects for Torrey Town.

Registration will be from 7:00 A.M. to 7:30 A.M. at the "Big Apple" at 110 E Main Street, 84775; please park across the street at the L.D.S. church. You can also pre-register at http://www.active.com/10k-race/torrey-ut/torrey-redrock-races-2012 or by calling the town office and registering with the town clerk at 1-435-425-3600

The race will begin at the Forest Service Building in Teasdale; transportation will be provided from the Big Apple. The race takes you down into Teasdale and across the Fremont river to Torrey, with spectacular scenery of the Boulder Mountains, Thousand Lake Mountains, and the Velvet Ridges before it crosses the river and comes to the quaint, tree-lined town of Torrey.

Medals will be awarded for age divisions: Young people to 25, 26-35, 36-50, and 51-100, and cash prizes will be given to the winners of the 5K race, 5K walk and the grand prize to the winner of the 10K run.  A light breakfast will be provided after the race at the "Big Apple." 

The entry fee is $25.00 for individuals. You can sign up as a family team (4-6 people) and receive a $10 discount per team. Kids under 10 can race (or rock out in a stroller!) for free. The registration fee includes a Kokopelli t-shirt with our logo. Find a list of motels and restaurants in the area on the Wayne County website www. waynecountyutah.org under “Travel Council.’ 

After the race there is a lot to see in our beautiful area with Capitol Reef National Park just 5 miles from Torrey. You’ll find many beautiful hiking trails, petroglyphs, historic sites, and more, and you can also take a drive up Highway 12, an all-American scenic byway. 

We'll see you on July 28^th!
