Awards

Overall winners will receive something from the prize table. I promise you will have a blast. Ask someone who has run it before and see what they tell you!

Meals

A bonfire with drinks and marshmallows awaits you at the finish.

Additional Information

Make sure that you have trail running shoes and a light source. What works best for me is a headlamp combined with a small flashlight. The trail is muddy in some places, so trail running shoes are vital to prevent you from slipping. You will follow the reflective ribbon the entire way. You’re going the wrong way if you don’t see any reflective ribbon.

A light source is required for this race. (Headlamp or high-powered flashlight)
