Run Caney 12 miler (yes indeedy)
December 14, 2024
Minden, LA, 71055, US
Run Caney is back again! This will be a 6 mile and 12 mile loop run around beautiful Upper Caney lake near Minden, Louisiana. The run, set in the slight hills and oak flats of the Kisatchie National Forest; is a beautiful spot to enjoy nature at its finest. It's not too hilly, not too rocky, and not too root-laden. It's just right! This is an "Old School Style" trail run. It's a perfect first timers race!
There will be a RUN CANEY shirt this year...not a GOATS shirt.
Runners are expected to pay $5 at the park for entry, per car. I suggest car-pooling! Folks who camp at the Beaver Dam Campsite the night prior are immune to park entry fees due to their campground registration.
There will be a running clock at the finish. Racers will be handed a numbered index card as they finish. The runner will then write their name and time on the card. Results will be posted only on the Run Caney Facebook page. Race results may be posted to runsignup; I'm going to try their mobile timing app. Runners will receive a long sleeve shirt and there will be light snacks available at the finish line. Overall male and female winner in each race will get an award of some type. Age group winner will receive a home-made ornament of some type. Also, there is a $5 parking fee for the park....so carpool if you can. There is a hard cut on the shirts of November 29th!!! I will order some extras but if you want a guaranteed shirt.....order before the 29th.
THERE IS A SHIRT ONLY OPTION. IF YOU CHOOSE THIS....YOUR SHIRT MUST BE PICKED UP AT THE RUN WILD STORE DURING PACKET PICKUP. I'M NOT HOLDING YOUR SHIRT FOR YOU AND MEETING YOU SOMEWHERE. IN THE PAST, IF WE'VE KEPT IT AT THE STORE AFTER PPU; IT WOULD BE MONTHS BEFORE THE RECEPIENT WENT TO CLAIM IT....WE'RE NOT DOING THAT.
The Run Caney 12 Miler (yes indeedy) is a unique annual event taking place on December 14, 2024, in Minden, Louisiana (71055, US). While specific historical details of its inception are not provided, the "yes indeedy" tagline suggests a fun and possibly informal atmosphere that has likely evolved over several years. This event falls under "Event Type: 6," which typically denotes a road race. Participants can expect a challenging yet rewarding 12-mile course designed to showcase the local landscape. The terrain is anticipated to be primarily road-based, common for events of this distance and type, with potential for rolling hills characteristic of the Louisiana terrain. Runners should be prepared for potentially warm and humid conditions typical of late autumn in the region, so hydration and appropriate gear are essential. The "yes indeedy" moniker hints at a friendly community spirit and perhaps some quirky race-day elements that make this a memorable experience beyond just the miles.
