Island Fat Ass (IFA) is a grassroots endurance running group. We host free, relaxed, low key and loosely organized, adventure trail runs and other events for fellow trail runners.
Anyone can create and host an event! Contact us and we can help you setup a new event and post the details online!
All participants agree to the following club creed:
No Fee. I don’t expect a finisher medal, souvenir t-shirt, draw prizes, a loot bag or any other stuff to take home after I finish an event other than my dirty laundry and, possibly, some bragging rights.
No Aid. I am an experienced endurance athlete so I know how to dress for the weather and to pack what I need to eat and drink.
No Wimps. I understand that an IFA Event may be physically and mentally demanding.
No Course Marking. I understand that an IFA Event is not marked. I will review and print a map and/or download the course to a gps/phone app before the run!
No Course Leader. I understand there is no run leader, and that I must be prepared to navigate - I will not rely upon following others to navigate.
Be Nice to Mother Nature. I intend to leave no impact on the environment in which it is held. I agree to not litter. I furthermore agree to consider picking up any litter I might come across during an event.
Be Nice to Your Host. I understand that Event Hosts are fellow members who spend a lot of their time organizing their events out of the goodness of their hearts and the hope that I will have fun participating. I agree to be a good guest.
Contribute to the Community. I agree to think about hosting my own IFA Event.
