About the ZACHING RUNNING FESTIVAL
The course runs through Turf Valley Resort, a golf and hotel property with wide open grounds that give the route a clean, uncluttered feel. The terrain is gentle, and the surroundings are polished rather than rugged. Several distance options mean you see runners of very different abilities sharing the same morning.
The post-race setup has real substance to it: live music, a beer garden, oysters, and bloody marys. It is more of a festival than a quick pack-up-and-go finish. The race benefits a foundation that helps cancer patients with everyday costs, so there is a clear reason behind the gathering.
