About the Corryton Possum Chase 8-Miler, 4-Miler, and 2-Miler Races

The courses run out and back on Corryton-Luttrell Road, starting and finishing at the Corryton Community Center. All distances are USATF-certified. The longest option includes one substantial hill, and because the road stays open to traffic without a shoulder or sidewalk, it is better suited to runners than walkers. The shorter courses are walker-friendly.

Everything happens on race morning, with registration and packet pickup opening well before the first wave goes off. Awards follow each distance shortly after the course closes, so you can stick around and see results without a long wait. The race benefits the Corryton Community Club and a local food pantry.

Common Questions About the Corryton Possum Chase 8-Miler, 4-Miler, and 2-Miler Races

Will I finish last at the Corryton Possum Chase 8-Miler, 4-Miler, and 2-Miler Races?

Almost certainly not. Half the 2 Miles field finished slower than 24:23, and the last recorded finisher came in around 59:00, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Corryton Possum Chase 8-Miler, 4-Miler, and 2-Miler Races a good first 2 Miles?

It is a small race (93 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 2 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Corryton Possum Chase 8-Miler, 4-Miler, and 2-Miler Races?

The 2 Miles winner ran 10:39 while the median finisher took 24:23. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
