About the Event

Description

Trail Run Xtreme is back and we're not skimping on the mud! Roots, hills, logs, mud puddles, twists and turns, and maybe even some water crossings await you along the woodsy single-track route of the Outback Trails. Bug spray will be provided before and food, fruit, and snacks afterwards with camaraderie all around. So grab your trail shoes, tighten up those laces, and get ready to let out your inner child because it's time to explore the woods and race in the dirt!

OUR COURSE The course is 95% shaded and wooded, with the exception of the start which goes around the soccer fields to spread the runners out. It's known for being a tough course (hence "Xtreme").

FAQ

Why is it not on Memorial Day? The race ownership changed hands and we had scheduling conflicts with that date this year. Instead of not having it at all, we decided to just move it up one week. The current plan is to move it back to Memorial Day for future years (unless we get a lot of positive feedback about the new date - let us know what you think!) Can I run with a stroller? Absolutely not. Have you seen these trails? 😆 Are Dogs Allowed? We know there's some tough pooches out there, but dogs are not allowed out on course for this event. However, friendly, leashed dogs are welcome at the event staging area and other spectator spots. Why isn’t my shirt guaranteed? Quantities are limited. If you're registering after 5/4, our “live” shirt inventory shows the sizes currently in stock at the time you are registering.
