Run Like a Fool 5K / 10K - October 24, 2026

A trail race for people who don’t take themselves too seriously.

Ever thought about trail running but felt intimidated? Run Like a Fool is a small, welcoming trail race designed for road runners, first-timers, and seasoned runners who just want a fun, no-ego race day. No pressure. No massive crowds. Just good trails, good people, and a reason to try something new.

Why This Race Exists

This race was created for runners who:

• Are curious: about trails but nervous to try.
• Want a challenge: without feeling overwhelmed.
• Care more: about the experience than the podium.

What to Expect

• Scenic trails: runnable paths that offer beautiful views.
• Relaxed vibe: an encouraging atmosphere for all participants.
• Walkers welcome: inclusive for non-runners.
• Small field: ensures you won’t get lost in the crowd.

This is the kind of race where people talk to each other before the start and cheer strangers on.
