Wooters Watagans Not-a-Race
Wooters Runners hold the 'Not-a-Race' each year in April to emulate race conditions in an event 4 weeks out from the UTA. It's a good time for people to get out for their longest run, as well as test out gear and nutrition plans. The aim is to have everyone around to enjoy training together. Come along to run, volunteer, cheer or just hang out!
