Other Tidbits
We are dedicated to the responsible enjoyment and active stewardship of the outdoors, and we encourage you to "leave no trace behind" by taking all trash with you.  Park Rangers appreciate it when racers follow the marked course and keep the trails clean.


The trails will be open to other users during the event such as hikers and mountain bikers.  Please be courteous, as you will likely encounter a few.  Please let other participants pass you if they want to get by.  It's a passing runner's job to tell the person in front that they would like to pass.



   is proud to donate a portion of the race entry fees to Soles4Souls, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing shoes to those in need.

Is the 50k cutoff time really only 5.5 hours? The winner of the 50k in September ran it in 5:35.
