FERAL NONSENSE Saturday, November 14th, 8am, Harms Woods North, Morton Grove Gravel gives way to single track, single track gives way to your legs questioning every decision that led to this moment. That's Feral Nonsense, our last trail race before it gets cold and everyone retreats indoors to argue about treadmill pace. Pick your chaos: 3 miles, 1 lap 6 miles, 2 laps 9 miles, 3 laps All distances start together at 8am, because nonsense doesn't wait around. Aid station at the start of every lap, so however many times you loop back through, there's a friendly face and something to fuel you for the next round. Packet pickup is race morning only, 7:00 to 7:50am. Get there, grab your bib, get feral. Curious about trail running? Want one more race in before the cold sets in? Just here for the good vibes on the trails? This is the race for you. Everyone belongs out here. All paces, all abilities, all weirdos welcome.
BIPOC & LGBTQ+ Entries One of the things we strive for is to create inclusion and equality in the running community. As much as we want to say that all you need to run is a pair of shoes, we know the reality is much more complex. To create intentional space for people, we have a number of free entries for our races that we would like to extend to BIPOC and LGBTQ+ athletes. We would like to emphasize that these are not need based or scholarships. These entries are an affirmation of belonging in our community. We are not in any way publicly advertising who accepts an entry, and you do not have to be an out member of the LGBTQ+ community to receive one. We are not questioning or asking for additional information from anyone who asks for a code, they will be handed out as long as we have funding to do so. If you would like a code, please email us at [email protected] . We have earmarked funds for both BIPOC and LGBTQ+. Please feel free to share this offer with friends. Entrance Policy for Transgender Athletes We will accept each entrant’s declared gender at face value, and no additional supporting evidence is required. Athletes may register as the gender they identify with. Entrance Policy for Non-Binary Athletes People whose gender is not male or female; including but not limited to: genderqueer, agender, bigender. We want to acknowledge, respect, and provide opportunity in the registration process to express their desired pronouns. Please email [email protected] after registration and we will amend our records as Ultrasignup does not currently have that option.
