The Race the Base, a 4-mile competitive trail run, is returning to Pinnacle Mountain State Park October 25, 2025, with all the fan favorites – plus a few new additions.

  • Start: Begins on gravel
  • Transition: Switches to paved trails
  • Finish: 2.75 miles of technical single track
  • Man vs. Mountain: "Joe’s Revenge" will challenge participants with a daunting rise of 200 feet over 1/3 mile

🏆 Awards and Recognition

  • Unique Trophies: "Rocks" awarded to the top three male and female participants
  • Categories: Awards given in several age-based categories
  • Overall Winners: Three deep for both male and female categories
  • Age Groups: Under 19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+

🎃 Halloween Celebrations

This year’s Race the Base coincides with National Trick or Treat Day (celebrated the last Saturday of October), and participants are encouraged to extend their Halloween celebrations by competing in costumes – with crowd favorites awarded something appropriately silly during post-race festivities.
