Other Info


This race retraces the original 10 miles of the 1778 cow run or "Great Cow Chase" of cattle foraged/taken from Salem County by American Revolutionary soldiers led by Anthony "Mad Anthony" Wayne. Wayne gathered about 150 cows in Salem City and headed toward Valley Forge and the starving soldiers on February 23rd of that year. In honor of those cows who took that one way trip, and the great Americans who stole them, we run in a herd . . . back to where they started!
