The Copperopolis Country Run couldn’t be more country than the route chosen at the edge of Copperopolis via Rock Creek Road along the loop of Salt Springs Valley and Hunt Road.   The Frog’s Tooth Vineyard and Copperopolis Area Business Association (CABA) together are planning the inaugural race event scheduled for Saturday, May 14.  The walk-run will take place, rain or shine, beginning at 8:00 A.M with a 2-mile race, followed by a half-mile race at 8:30 A.M.  There will be a 10K race at 9:00 A.M.   Registration and check-ins must meet at Copperopolis Business Park, 90 Rock Creek Road, at least an hour prior to start of race.  After registration, contestants will proceed to the Frog’s Tooth Vineyard on Hunt Road for the races. 

The race proceeds support the Calaveras County Deputy Sheriffs’ Association and the Copperopolis Fire District.  Participants may run in multiple events with one entry fee.  Pre-registration is $20 by check to Copperopolis Area Business Association, P. O. Box 466, Copperopolis, 95228, prior to May 12.  Run applications can be downloaded from a link at www.coppergazette.blogspot.com.  Online signups are available at Active.com or AllSportCentral.com for $20 plus service fee.  Race day signups are $25.

Runners will receive a T-shirt, a gift bag and a raffle ticket for a drawing to be held during the awards ceremony at the end of the race.  In the spirit of a charity event, people are asked to bring a nonperishable food item as a donation to the local food bank.
