Rugged Raccoon

Description:

There will be 4 race options to choose from: 5k, 10k, 25k daytime and 25k night time. Those participating in the 25k night race must have a headlamp (preferred) or flashlight.

– The 5k course is a lollipop course, which means that participants will run out for approximately 1.2km, complete a loop in the woods, and return on the 1.2km section back to the start. It will be run on the North side of the lake, which offers wider and less technical trails. However, we can almost guarantee that there will be some mud.

-The 10k course is an out-and-back with a loop in the middle, which like the 5k, takes place on the North side of the lake and will be run clockwise.

-The 25k course is 1 full loop around the lake. Participants will start by heading clockwise on the North side of the lake, which is primarily wider and less technical. This will allow the field of runners to spread out before hitting the single track trails on the South side of the lake.

Runners should be expecting some mud- in 2019 there was plenty! We can’t guarantee it but we’re pretty sure there will be some sloppy sections. If that worries you… GOOD! We encourage you to step out of your comfort zone- that’s when the magic happens! Plan on getting dirty.
