🏃‍♀️ EVENT OVERVIEW

Trail Run Xtreme is back and we're not skimping on the mud! Roots, hills, logs, mud puddles, twists and turns, and maybe even some water crossings await you along the woodsy single-track route of the Outback Trails. Bug spray will be provided before and food, fruit, and snacks afterwards with camaraderie all around. So grab your trail shoes, tighten up those laces, and get ready to let out your inner child because it's time to explore the woods and race in the dirt!

It will also be well marked with flags, signs, tape, and plenty of volunteers along the route to point you down the right path.

As part of an initiative to promote youth trail running, special age-based pricing for the 12K distance of TRX will be available for all runners 18 and under. Registration fees will remain at just $20 and include all the same benefits.

🎗️ BENEFICIARIES

A portion of race proceeds benefit the organizations below. Additional donations can be made during the registration process.
Outback Trail Commission - a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The Outback Trail Commission and its members are voluntarily committed to the maintenance and construction of trails on the Outback Trail at Imagination Glen. Their volunteers prep and mark the course as well as provide the water stops and course marshalling on race day to keep everyone safe. TRX would not be possible without their support!

Please consider donating and help us support this great organization!

❓ FAQ

Can I run with a stroller? Absolutely not. Have you seen these trails? 😆

Are Dogs Allowed? We know there's some tough pooches out there, but dogs are not allowed out on course for this event. However, friendly, leashed dogs are welcome at the event staging area and other spectator spots.

Why isn’t my shirt guaranteed? Quantities are limited. If you're registering after 5/2, our “live” shirt inventory shows the sizes currently in stock at the time you are registering.
