Race Guidelines

The goal of the timed races is to complete as many loops as possible in your chosen timed race. Loops will only be counted to your total if they were completed before the end of your race time. The 12 Hour Race will end at 7PM, the 6 Hour Race will end at 2PM, and the 3 Hour Race will end at 12PM. For example, if you are running the 6 hour, you MUST finish all your loops within the 6 hours. Any laps finished outside of your time limit will not be counted.

The race base will include hydration and fuel for runners. This is a cupless race, please bring your own refillable water bottles. Headlamp must be worn after 6PM or when it gets dark. Runners will not be allowed to start any loops after 6PM without a headlamp.

Crews with 10×10 canopies are welcome at the Gateway Trails Parking lot. All canopies or tents must be weighed down with 10lb weights at each leg or with stakes. There is limited parking in the Gateway Trailhead parking lot but there is additional parking locked further up Curtis Creek, a short walk to the race base. There are two bathrooms at the trailhead and there will be additional portajohns.

The trail system is not closed. Please be courteous of other people using the trails. Camps must clean up after themselves and remove any trash from their site. Dogs & Strollers are not allowed on this course. Well behaved dogs are welcome at the Gateway Trailhead.

This event will be held rain or shine. If there is lightning, we will delay any race start for at least 30 minutes. If there is lightning during the race, we ask runners/spectators to take shelter.
