🏃‍♂️ How It Works:

• Custom Challenge: Run as many laps as you want, can, or dare—every step counts! 🔄

🛠️ Run Logistics:

• Self-Timed Fun: Use your UNIQUE mug ☕️ and add a stone 🪨 each lap.
• End Of Event: At the end, we'll tally up your laps through our registration file—every rock is a victory! 🎊
• Personal Tent Setup: Need a break? Set up your drop bag or pop-up tent near the aid station for a cozy rest. Please remember to “pack in and pack out” to keep our park pristine! ⛺️✅
• Aid Station: Our aid station is sponsored by YOU. Please bring a leftover dish from the past holiday season that needs to be eaten! One aid station will be on the 2-mile loop, stocked with pickles 🥒, cookies 🍪, chips, assorted candy 🍬, fig newtons, pretzels, and plenty of hydration options like water 💧, Coke 🥤, and ginger ale. This is a cup-less event—bring your own vessel! 🚫🥤

✨ Make 2026 Count!
