For our fourth season year we have added a Mountain Bike option. Same run course but with a testing MTB ride in the middle.


These are no pressure events! If you are a beginner, then do not fear, you are not alone! You can run, walk, crawl or grovel your way around the run course, and as long as you have a safe bike and a helmet you're good to go.
A kids race (12 and under) will also be held at the conclusion of the adults race at all five events.
