Due to the snow/rain, melt & re-freeze, the run course is very unsafe to even think about running on!
Therefore, Scoogie Events & Bucks County Parks & Recreation has made the decision make
2020 is Hindsight 5k's
virtual
Meaning, you'll run your 5k on YOUR TIME & YOUR LOCATION and YOU'LL GET YOUR MUCH DESERVED SWAG~
This decision has nothing to do with COVID.
We had a rock solid COVID safety protocol plan in place.
The 5k run courses are simply WAY too dangerous to run on!⛄VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE⛄
💖
SWAG PICK-UP IS TODAY!!
SATURDAY (2/13) from
2:30-5:00 PM!
⛄
SOMETHING TO NOTE FOR TODAY!
🥶
Please be patient when coming to SWAG pick-up today at Sailor's Point at Peace Valley Park.
There will likely be a line of cars waiting for the awesome SWAG!
In an effort to try to not back cars up onto New Galena Rd, we're going to have cars wind around the parking lots.
Please follow signs and CREW members as they direct you as to where to drive.
We will do our very best to get you in & out.
We have a great system but we can only do it do quickly.
So, maybe bring something to listen to or work on while waiting in your car.
(This may be a good time to write your loving & heartfelt Valentine's Day card?)
💖NOTE💖
Please read the HELPFUL HINTS about today's SWAG pick-up below.

VERY IMPORTANT & TIME SENSITIVE UPDATE!
~Updated February 11th!~
💥
~~~~~~~~~~~~
HELPFUL HINT #1
~SPREAD YOURSELVES OUT~
PLEASE don't all come right at 2:30.
Maybe wait till 3:30 or 4:00 to come!
<There's less likely to be a line of cars later>
~~~~~~~~~~~~
HELPFUL HINT #2
~JOT DOWN YOUR NAMES ON A PIECE OF PAPER~
You can write the participants names that you're picking up for on a piece of paper.
YES, you CAN pick-up your friends' SWAG IF you know their first & last names! This is actually ENCOUARGED as it would cut down on the amount of cars at SWAG pick-up!
Please right clearly the FIRST & LAST NAMES of EACH person that you're picking up for.
When a CREW member comes to your car, please hand the piece of paper to them.
PLEASE wear a mask when doing so
~~~~~~~~~~~~
HELPFUL HINT #3
~DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THINKING ABOUT IT~
If you're thinking, "Hey let's just run when we're there picking up our SWAG" Or, "Let's still go Sunday morning and run the course".
Although no-one will stop you of course,
PLEASE RE-THINK THAT IDEA!
The run course is NOT SAFE to run on. It may look safe at the start, but there's BLACK ICE out there from the snow melt run-off & re-freeze that's very hard to see.
It's truly not safe.
~We want you to stay injury free in 2021!
We've got a lot of awesome events coming up!
It's just not worth risking injury~
~~~~~~~~~~~~
WHAT IF I CAN'T MAKE IT SATURDAY?
~DON'T STRESS~
If for whatever reason you cannot come out on Saturday to pick your SWAG up, we will have your 2020 is Hindsight SWAG again for you at the next 2 live events.
(The first one being Shake Your Shamrock at
Peddler's Village on March 13th & 14th)
We'll email you a week b4 both events w/ details!

We're so sorry, ALL 4 5k's are SOLD OUT!
They've been SOLD OUT for some time now.
We realize many of you would like to register and run with us on Valentine's Day.
And as much as we'd like to see more of you, we need to keep the numbers down to keep everyone safe.
This will end soon, but for now, we need to do this.
💥
Let’s say GOODBYE to 2020
and a
BIG, WARM WELCOME to 2021!!
on
💖Valentine’s Day!💖
February 14, 2021
😊NOTE: IF YOU REGISTERED FOR THE ORIGINAL JAN. 2ND EVENT, YOUR REGISTRATION IS AUTOMATICALLY DEFERRED TO THIS ONE (2/14)!
No need to do anything...except maybe keep training😂
😊
Anyone that has experienced a Scoogie Event knows what to expect when they register for one of our events;
a whole lot of good vibes & contagious smiles!
💖
This event on Valentine’s Day 2021 may in fact be the most important event that we have organized in recent memory.
With what we’ve all experienced over the last 10 months,
it’s time to put 2020 BEHIND US and move on to a more
POSITIVE & OPTIMISTIC 2021.
Join the Scoogie Events as we ring in 2021 the only way we know how; by creating much needed POSITIVE VIBES & SMILES!
And now, we’re adding a whole lot of 💖LOVE💖 to what is already going to be an awesome event!
With careful planning & cooperation from Bucks County Parks & Recreation, New Britain Township & Scoogie Events, we are VERY PROUD to announce a BRAND NEW New Year’s running event!
💖

“Leave it all behind 5k!”
(This is the 5k course that has the 1/2 mile 8% hill…then the rest is down hill all the way to the finish!)
”Don’t look back 5k!”
(This is the 5k course that is slightly rolling and relatively flat)
(Both course maps below)
💥ABOUT OUR EFFORTS WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR SAFETY💥
We take GREAT EFFORTS & PRIDE in the fact that we have organized 4 SAFE EVENTS this year.
Your safety (as well as the safety of the Scoogie Events CREW and the countless volunteers) is our NUMBER ONE PRIORITY!
We take this responsibility very seriously.
No stone is left unturned in our impeccable planning to make sure YOU ARE SAFE at our events.
We want everyone to feel safe & comfortable so that you’re able to enjoy your Scoogie Events experience.
The host venue (Sailor's Point) will be laid out in a very strategic fashion that will require runners to not congregate in one area.
The layout will spread everyone out so that there is never more that 25 people in 1000 square feet of each other which is well within the state guidelines.
🙌All of this is our promise to you 🙌
💥IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT REGISTRATION💥
For safety reasons and park & state guidelines, we are limiting each 5k to ONLY 75 RUNNERS!
This means that once 75 runners has been reached, the event will CLOSE and we simply cannot accept any new registrations.
Please register ASAP!
The event will likely sell out VERY quickly!
Packet Pick details will be emailed 5 days before this event.
Runners are strongly encouraged to pick up their packets in the days prior the event to avoid lines on race day.
Packet pick-up times will be posted 2 weeks before the event.
PARKING ON RACE DAY: PARKING ON RACE DAY WILL BE AT SAILOR’S POINT @ PEACE VALLEY PARK. (specific parking details will be emailed out the weekend before the event)
Here are the GPS coordinates: VIEW IN GOOGLE MAPS

PACKET PICK-UP (PPU):
Stress-free PPU😊

How: You will NOT need to get out of your car!!
You will simply follow the signs down towards the lake, a Scoogie Events CREW member then comes to your window, asks for the name of the packets you’re picking up and you’ll be on your way.
💥PPU IS VERY STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO AVOID LINES ON RACE MORNING!💥
💥
This will exponentially decrease race day lines which will help comply with COVID guidelines!
💥
🐶DOG NOTE🐶
NO DOGS ALLOWED FOR ANY OF THE 4 5K'S PLEASE
(IT'S TOO NARROW TO ALLOW DOGS FOR THIS RUN)
You all know how hard that is for us...WE LOVE DOGS!! (hence our logo🐶)
💥THIS NEEDS TO BE STATED AGAIN💥
PACKET PICK-UP IS VERY STRONGLY ENCOURAGED!
MANY OF OUR DEVOTED CREW MEMBERS & VOLUNTEERS ALSO RUN THESE EVENTS AND THEY NEED TIME TO PREPARE AS WELL!
PLEASE THINK OF THEM AND TRY VERY HARD TO COME TO PACKET PICK-UP THE DAY BEFORE THE EVENT…(2/13)
Plus, if you pick up your packets at packet pick-up, you don’t have to arrive so early on race morning.
PPU is NOT mandatory but again, STRONGLY encouraged.
You CAN pick up your friends’ packets (You must know their FULL name & DOB)
😊
TIMING/AWARDS:
Both 5k’s WILL BE TIMED & AWARDS will be given out!
😊
HOW WE WILL CREATE A SAFE YET POSITIVE & HAPPY ATMOSPHERE SO THAT EVERYONE FEELS
COMFORTABLE AND ENJOYS THEMSELVES
💚
We all need positive vibes even more this year!
And that’s exactly what you’ll get at the 2020 is Hindsight 5k's!!
😊🌞😊
The Scoogie Events CREW has very successfully produced 4 events in the past few months!
We take YOUR SAFETY VERY SERIOUSLY!
COVID PROTOCOLS for the 2020 is Hindsight 5k's!:

🏃🏻♀️Course map🏃🏻♂️
🏃🏻♂️”Leave it all behind 5k” has a 1/3 of a mile hill, the rest is downhill or flat. 🏃🏻♀️”Don’t look back 5k” has a couple of rollers (slight inclines) but is mostly flat.
WHY ARE WE ORGANIZING THIS EVENT:
Because 2020 has been a very difficult year for so many of us and even though we are limited to such a small number of runners and it’s five times the amount of work to make this event happen, we feel that we need to give HOPE and spread some needed POSITIVITY to our faithful runners.
And that’s EXACTLY what we plan on doing to bring in the new year on February 14, 2021!
Additionally, we LOVE Peace Valley Park and want to give back to them!
They are this year’s race beneficiary and they will receive 100% of the donations generated from this event!
💥AGAIN, VERY IMPORTANT & TIME SENSITIVE NOTES ABOUT THIS EVENT💥
Again, if COVID gets worse over the weeks/months and we deem it to be unsafe to have this event, we will make the event a VIRTUAL event. There will be no refunds. Your swag (medal & t-shirt) will be able to be picked up a yet-to-be determined SWAG pick up.
💥ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE💥
Regarding the WINTER weather that is ALWAYS a possibility this time of year🥶!
We will NEVER put our runners in danger!
Should we get snow in the days leading up to the event and therefor the trails around the park are unsafe, we will have no choice but to make the event virtual and get everyone your SWAG.
We sincerely hope that this doesn't not happen.
BUT, be please be aware that
YOUR SAFETY IS OUR TOP PRIORITY. PERIOD.
And, we will do what has to be done to keep everyone safe.
Please stay tuned to your email inbox as well as checking our homepage HERE for updates as the the event approaches.
Should the event be made virtual, there will be no deferrals to future events or refunds.
