Clo-Cow Race Through Sonoma County This Weekend

By NAPAGIRL (Star Patcher)

The 5th annual Clo-Cow Half Marathon & 5K is set for this coming Sunday Sep 13 starting at 7am. Both races start and finish on Kentucky Street in downtown Petaluma. The 5K turns around at Chapman Lane and the Half Marathon continues through the country out to Middle Two Rock Road. On the line is the coveted custom cowbell finishers medal awarded to all participants along with a goodie bag and refreshments.

Runners of all ages and abilities can participate. The course limit is 4 hours. Awards are given to the top 3 finishers and in various age groups up to 70+. The Half Marathon was won last year in 1 hour 20 minutes and the 5K in just under 20 minutes by elite runners. Slower runners may finish the Half Marathon in 4 hours and the 5K in 2 hours.

Race Registration is available online ahead of the race at a discount or onsite the morning of the race. Registration is also being accepted in person at Athletic Soles in Petaluma.

If you’re not a runner, but would like to help out with the race, there is still a need for many volunteers on both Saturday and Sunday. To see the jobs still needing to be filled please visit theVolunteer Signup page online.

Come on out on Sunday and cheer on the runners. The best place to watch the race is near the start/finish line on Kentucky street. Parking is available on the street or in one of the two garages downtown.
