This year’s Willits Classic 10 mile run and 5K run/walk event will be held Sunday, Feb. 16.
This perennially popular footrace will start at 10 a.m. for the 10 milers and at 10:30 a.m. for the 5K run/walkers at Recreation Grove on East Commercial Street in Willits.
The Willits Classic awards the top three male and female finishers overall with medals and recognizes top three finishers in all age divisions with ribbons. The age groups are 9 & under, 10-13, 14-17, 18-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70+.
The 10-mile run circles the farming community of Willits’ Little Lake Valley, following beautiful rural roads . With mostly flat terrain, it offers a fun, fast course. The 5K course is a shorter version of the same. Refreshments and hot drinks will be served at the finish.
Entry fee is $20 for adults, $18 for NCS members , and $10 for age 16 and under. Race day registration increases by $3 and begins at 9:00 a.m. at the Recreation Grove.
