T-SHIRTS

Special limited edition T-shirts will be printed for the series. This is the same shirt as at all other Treadin’ Trodden Trails races: one shirt per runner PER SEASON please. Taking multiple shirts minimizes monies we are able to donate to trail friendly causes.

TTT SERIES AWARDS

This year we’ll be awarding the top 3 in each division free race entries. Additionally we’ll hold a drawing so that two lucky runners get a pair of shoes, thanks to the generous sponsorship of Runners Market. We’ll once again be presenting the awards at the annual KTC Holiday Party in December. Reminder, to qualify for series awards (and free shoes!), you’ll need to be a member of KTC, and you will need to have volunteered two times during the course of the trail race season.

RESULTS

Results will be available on this RunSignup page at the Results link.

COURSE ETIQUETTE

We reserve the right to disqualify anyone who exhibits unsportsmanlike conduct or is abusive to volunteers. Due to insurance regulations, no headsets, earphones, bicycles, baby strollers, roller blades or pets on the course.

SAFETY

• Stations: Aid and water stations will be provided.
• Greener policy: We urge all runners to carry their own water.
• Insect sensitivity: Carry your own medication if sensitive to stings or bites.
• Training: Pre-race training offroad is recommended.

SAFETY POLICY CLARIFICATION

Our primary goal is to keep everybody safe out there in the woods. We’ve had some interest from younger folks in running the longer races, and we’re all over that idea, but we are concerned about their safety. For the remainder of the season (and moving forward), if a runner is under 12 years old, he or she will need to be accompanied by an adult in order to run the adult race (i.e. not the kids mile). We’ll need to start enforcing the 18:00/mile minimum pace.

DON'T TAKE A BIB IF YOU'RE NOT RUNNING

This is safety-related - we want to make sure that everybody who starts the race stays safe. If you take a bib, we think you’re running the race. If you’re not running the race, don’t take a bib. If you have to drop out of the race, please let one of the race officials know so you are accounted for.

INFO FOR VOLUNTEERING

We love our volunteers! Please connect with us if you’d like to volunteer (trails@ktc.org), and you can find openings at the "Volunteer" link above. Runners can take their participation in the KTC TTT series to the next level by volunteering!
