The 2nd Annual Sasquatch Trail Run brought many new faces to the Dry Creek Preserve in search of Bigfoot. The river was at the highest level recorded according to the folks at the Sequoia Riverlands Trust that own the Preserve. Bridges had to be constructed with the help of Mike Castro from KRC Safety in Visalia.
FYE Events took over the Sasquatch Trail Run in early March 2019 and had one goal…To draw as many new runners to the event and especially road runners that don’t compete on trails. Local Sponsors included:
A Sasquatch Leaps out of the trees Julia Johnson wins 1st overall female Virtual Run Grows The trend of virtual runs has continued to grow and we heavily marketed the event on Facebook and Instagram. A total of 19 virtual runners completed the race including Corrie, a runner from Maine, as the furthest away. She completed her 5k run where she lives and we mailed her swag to her. We continue to grow virtual runs in all our races , but this event had our best participation at 10% being virtual. Next Year’s EventStay tuned and we will announce our 2020 date…and we hear the Sasquatch are multiplying at the Preserve…Expect many more!! Michael Young FYE Events It’s been awhile since Visalia has had an event during Halloween to make your skin crawl…The Vossler Farms Corn Maze is a great family event and is perfect for kids. Adventure seekers will be fortunate this fall with a zombie experience at the Kaweah Oaks Preserve. Forever Young Events, LLC (FYE) owns and manages running events in the Visalia area and recently worked with the Sequoia Riverlands Trust (SRT) in hosting the Sasquatch 5k Trail Run in May of2019. The event was a huge success and doubled in size over previous years with 200 participants. Shortly after Diane Hayes tapped FYE with the idea of a Halloween event. Kaweah Oaks PreserveKaweah Oaks Preserve, a 344-acre nature preserve, protects one of the last remaining valley oak riparian forests in the San Joaquin Valley. What makes the property appealing is the parking and trails that already exist for public use. Oh and one last thing…It is creepy at night! What to ExpectThe event will take place from 5pm-10pm and participants can walk the course individually or in teams. There will be 7 waves that leave down the haunted trail with as many as 70 zombies wandering the property. Participants will receive a FREE “I survived the Zombies” T-shirt” and a FREE flashlight to guide them on their journey. The trail will have “Safe Zones” along the way that provide safety from the blood sucking undead. For those that survive and make it back to safety, there will be FREE Coffee and Hot Cocoa along with local Food Trucks, a Zombie Beer from Three Rivers Brewing, and a live performance by Call Me James. SponsorsSponsors include Premier Auto Sales as the Major Sponsor of the event along with DIG Marketing and HNH Nut Company.
