Panicking Poultry 5K drops racewalking support

The PANICKING POULTRY 5K has historically been one of the biggest races of the year for racewalking. The race has new management this year and all walking and racewalking support and awards have been eliminated. Turning this race into "just another 5k" is a major disappointment for us and I see no reason to participate this year. Try the Brighton Turkey Trot instead.

If you are still interested, here are the details.
