👦 KIDS TRAIL RACE

Kids will run a moderately hilly and truly fun course of about a mile, starting at 7:30. Start and finish at base of trailhead rather than at school, but race signup and staging area will be at Lincoln Park Technology and Trade Center at the adult race staging area.

👕 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

Aid and water stations will be provided, but in an effort to be greener, we urge all runners to carry their own water, i.e., there will be only very small cups supplied at the aid stations. We also strongly recommend that anyone sensitive to insect stings or bites carry their own medication. Finally, we urge that everyone do some pre-race training offroad, as there is no substitute for experience. We want you to have a good time.

⚠️ SAFETY POLICY CLARIFICATION

Our primary goal is to keep everybody safe out there in the woods. We’ve had some interest by younger folks in running the longer races, and we’re all over that idea, but we are also concerned about their safety.

❌ 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. Then when you don’t show up at the finish, we have to try and track you down and make sure you're not lost in the woods or hurt. So please -- if you're not running the race, don't take a bib. Also, 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 and can always use more. If you're unable to run the race, this is a great way to share in the fun. Or if friends or family are coming to cheer you on, encourage them to sign up as a volunteer. This link will take you to the volunteer signup page.

🛍️ TTT MERCH

We also want to remind you that we have new TTT lightweight hoodies, hats, and stickers for sale in our online store. We'll also have them at the race for purchase. Visit our online store at this link.
