Folks,

Pasted below is a draft release for the TCO race in March. Not sure we’ll have the family fun run date moved until late next week, and I don’t want to wait any longer on the trail run. If you have any edits, let me know by COB tomorrow. The goal is have this out on Monday morning.

Hallie, your quote is: “Beau loved to run; it's a passion we shared and have passed on to our kids,” his wife Hallie Biden said. “He ran at Granogue a few years ago and it’s a real honor that this race will benefit his other passion – protecting kids in Delaware.”

Thanks,
Josh


The Beau Biden Foundation and Trail Creek Outfitters today announced the Beau Biden Memorial Trail Run (5K/10K). The race, on Saturday March 19th, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. at the Granogue Estate (2900 Montchanin Road, Wilmington DE 19807) will benefit the Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children (www.beaubidenfoundation.org).

“Beau loved to run; it's a passion we shared and have passed on to our kids,” his wife Hallie Biden said. “He ran at Granogue a few years ago and it’s a real honor that this race will benefit his other passion – protecting kids in Delaware.”

The race will be held rain, snow or shine. The trails at Granogue are open only for special events and are fun and scenic, but technical. The 10k course is quite challenging - for those seeking a more traditional cross country course, there is a 5K option as well.

Entry is $30 for those who pre-register and $10 for active duty and retired military, members of the National Guard and for those 19-and-under. Register online at www.runreg.com/beau

Each participant who pre-registers will receive a t-shirt (sizes can not be guaranteed after March 4, 2016). Race day number and shirt pickup opens at 8:00 am.

The Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children was established in June 2015 as an operating non-profit to continue Beau’s commitment to protecting Delaware’s children. The Foundation believes that no child anywhere should be threatened by a predator – either an adult or a peer – and seeks to prevent child abuse through effectively educating adults and children, developing the next generation of child welfare professionals and strengthening child protection laws around the country.

The Beau Biden Memorial Trail Run is the second of six events in the Trail Creek Outfitters Series. Each race in the series benefits a different charity throughout northern Delaware and southern Chester County and gives the runners the opportunity to view very different and unique properties. The races are run both on private estates and public lands. Each race features a different set of challenges to keep the runners coming back for more. These trail races takes runners off the road as they enjoy beautiful and diverse scenery at each property.

The series will be offering overall awards in ten-year age categories. More information about all of the races:
