A Stroll in the Park Endurance Run
A Stroll in the Park is an endurance running event held at Boling Park in Canton, Georgia. Participants have the choice of two timed durations on a flat course, making it a venue for long training runs or achieving personal distance goals.
The event features two primary time formats:
- 8 hours
- 12 hours
The course consists of an approximate one-mile loop on a crushed gravel path with a grass shoulder. This soft surface is designed to be gentle on the legs and is free of rocks and roots. As the path is unpaved, participants may encounter wet areas in the event of rain or snow. Participants are advised that there are no lights along the path, so a headlamp is recommended for use during low-light periods. Gaiters are also suggested for runners.
Laps are tracked using RFI technology, allowing runners to monitor their progress on a computer screen throughout the event. Only complete laps count toward the final mileage. The organizers provide reference charts at the site to help runners track specific milestones such as half-marathon, marathon, and 50k distances.
The venue at Boling Park includes access to toilets near the running path, shaded areas, and parking located close to the course. Because the parking is nearby, runners may set up chairs, small tables, and personal support items. A single aid station provides various refreshments, including drinks and both hot and cold food. Later in the day, items such as pizza, soup, and grilled cheese sandwiches are available, with some vegetarian options included.
All participants in both time categories receive a completion award. Registration must be completed by mid-September to guarantee an event t-shirt. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
