After finishing your run (or walk!), you will receive a skull bead for every half mile (each loop completed). If you wish to compete for the overall male, female, or non-binary awards, please let us know before you start, and ensure that you have no miles logged on your app or watch beforehand. We've got Christopher Regan in the timing booth to catch every chilly loop you do!

Chili Festival
After or while you’re looping the looper, come warm up at our chili festival! We encourage you to bring a crockpot of chili to share with others - whether you’re doing the race or not! We will have all supplies on hand (electrical source to keep the chili warm, bowls, and small spoons). All you need to bring is your pot of chili, a serving spoon, and a small description of your chili - we’d love if you described your dish and designated any dietary considerations (e.g., gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, etc.). EVERYONE who brings a pot of chili will receive a LIMITED EDITION Chili Festival token made by Christopher Regan!
