About the Chase the Taste
The race takes place inside Reed Bingham State Park, which means the surroundings are wooded and natural rather than urban. Both distance options are open to all paces, and runners who want a bigger test can tackle them back to back for an extra challenge designation. There is a sweet treat waiting at the finish.
Parking is handled through the state park's standard fee, which is bundled into registration rather than paid separately at the gate. That is worth knowing before you show up, since it removes the usual scramble for cash on race morning.
