Not 4 Wimps 10K / 10 Miler / Half-Marathon

The 34th annual Not 4 Wimps trail run is ready & waiting for  you.  We will park, start and finish at the Warren Riverview Park. The only indoor restroom facilities available will be just outside the lodge entrance.  Capacity of this year's event is limited to 200 so please sign-up early.  We’re bringing back chip timing with The Timer Guys. Bottled water will be provided at multiple distances on the course beginning at 3 miles.  Trash cans will be available immediately beyond the water stations for empty bottles as well as nutrition packaging etc. to help maintain clean trails.    The course will be well marked for each distance with all 3 distances sharing versions of the same basic course - lots of trails, lots of sand, and a little mud just to keep it fun!  Our job is to make sure the course is everything that you've come to expect, your job is to bring on the fun. . .  and smile - even when it hurts! 

"No Frills" Race

 Bottled water will be provided post-event, but your on your own for food.   Feel free to bring your own goodies (toasted marshmallows are highly recommended) to share at the fire-pit as you cheer your friends through the finish-line.  Friends and family are welcome and encouraged to hang-out at the park - the Lodge balcony and the nearby Arkansas River Bridge provides great vantage points.

This is a timed course that is marked well, but it is still a trail course!  If you don't see any course markings, you are going the wrong way!   If you are not leading the pack and you come across a spider web, you’re going the wrong way!  If you get lost and tack on some extra mileage, well then you got some extra bang for your buck!  You're not going to get an age group medal, or a finishers medal, or a pretty shirt with this race.  When you get done, we have some awesome giveaways to go along with the pride of knowing that you didn't wimp out and take the shortcut back.  Feel free to also brag to your friends that you finished a challenging race in the middle of February, while everyone else is still in hibernation mode, or stuck on a treadmill wishing for some new scenery!   This race is a bargain, and we want to keep it that way!

Packet pickup will start at 11:00 am at the outdoor pavilion.

Safety

Races are limited to registered participants only. No rollerblades, bicycles, skateboards or strollers are allowed. Noncompliance will result in disqualification.  Friendly well-trained furry running partners are welcome. Course Marshalls will control traffic, but runners should use extreme caution. Slower participants are encouraged to begin toward the rear to avoid congestion and collision.   All skill levels are welcome, walkers are encouraged to sign up for 10K or 10M as the course and timing will close at 3:00.  In the event of injury, send word along with a passing runner who will relay the info to the next course marshall - first-aid vehicle will be contacted and directed to your location. Identify clothing color ("dude in the red hat") and approximate distance traveled for fastest response.
