 Which Runners Typically Participate: All runners with at least 7 practices

*NOTE: Runners should check with coaches on minimum number of practices required to participate. Due to this early season race, runners will need to plan for attending practices the week prior.

Course Details & Map: See official website for more details! Athletic.net also has good notes on what to expect. This is a fun, river-crossing, muddy race! Spikes are not advised as there is a 1/2 mile portion of paved gravel. Note that runners cannot continue if they lose a shoe in the mud! Tie them on tightly! Runners can (and probably should) shower after the race. Hot showers are provided for $7 for a fundraiser. Wash off mud first in the river!

Race shirts/sweatshirts will be available for purchase. Concessions are available on race day.

Weather: High around 66º

Families/Friends Pointers*:

• Parking & Fees: Adults: $8/Students: $4. Detailed parking map. Parking is offsite. Shuttle buses will run back and forth for spectators. Be mindful when leaving the ranch. See additional exit map here.    

• Where to View: The start and finish are in close proximity, as is a view of the mud pit! Runners will loop around the start/finish area twice. You'll have multiple opportunities to see them. 

*A note for friends/families: Please remember that the safety of our runners, and you, is a priority! Be cautious when finding a spot to view the race. Stay off the course and stay out of the way as these runners will not stop for you!
