About this race
Event Overview
Starting the new year off strong with a walk or your way back into shape. Looking forward to another night trail run starting at 6PM through the single track mtb trail or the paved Soda lake loop route. This is a great way to get ready for that ultra you've been training for or just want to change it up from early Saturday morning start times.
Trail Details
- Single Track MTB Trail: TBD with all of the new trails being built, we just can’t decide where the race route will take you yet.
- Trail Conditions: Trail is typically rolling with very little roots or debris.
- Soda Lake Loop: Our beginner friendly route around 4.5 miles but paved the whole way for those unsure about footing or it being dark.
- Encouragement: Grab your buddy and let's go!
Safety Requirements
- Head Lamps: Recommended, but a light source of some kind is mandatory in order to run the race.
- Race Route: Will include both the single track mtb trail and Soda lake loop.
Post-Race Activities
- Prizes: Working on some overall prizes and a few items to raffle off to anyone with a bib number along with a good meal to eat after you finish.
- Re-gift Table: Would love to have a re-gift table where participants drop an unused present off at the beginning and once finished, pick something else up from the table as a trade.
Community Spirit
No matter how you spin it, look forward to a great time with all our crazy trail running friends!
