The Hunt for Sasquatch

About the Event

• Event Theme: Are You Ready to Hunt? Whether you’re chasing a personal best or chasing Sasquatch himself, this is one race you won’t want to miss. Gather your friends, bring the family, and come see if you can catch a glimpse of the legend.
• Sasquatch's Journey: Word on the trail is Sasquatch has packed up and headed north to escape the brutal Florida summer (turns out, all that fur isn’t exactly heat-friendly). But don’t worry—he’ll be back.
• Return to Bone Valley: Once the cooler months roll in, Sasquatch will return to Bone Valley ATV Park in Mulberry, FL., brush off the dust, and begin preparing for race day… and maybe even leave a few clues behind for those brave enough to find them.
• Race Variety: Join us at the rugged and scenic Bone Valley ATV Park for the Hunt for Sasquatch, a fun and slightly mysterious race experience featuring a 10K, 5K, and a family-friendly 1-mile color run.

Race Options

• 10K Run: Take on the full Sasquatch challenge with a scenic and rugged course through the park. Expect a mix of terrain and plenty of natural beauty.
• 5K Run: Perfect for runners and walkers alike, this course offers a fun and accessible route with just enough wilderness to keep things interesting.
• 1-Mile Color Run: A high-energy, family-friendly run filled with bursts of color along the way. This is all about fun, laughter, and getting a little messy!

Challenge Options

• Sasquatch Revenge Challenge: Think one race isn’t enough? Take on both the 10K and 5K in this back-to-back challenge designed to test your endurance and determination.
