About the Event

Beat the winter blues and stay motivated by participating in our brand new Winter Warrior Series! Each race will highlight a different local park and keep you motivated for spring racing.  Ol' Silty is the third race in the Winter Warrior Series and will take place at Jefferson Memorial Forest.  This race will include parts of the Siltstone and Purple Heart trails and conclude at Horine.  

If you're planning on running Lovin' the Hills in February, this is a great supported training run!

All finishers will receive a finishers award.  Add a shirt to your registration for $15 to show everyone you're a Winter Warrior! All shirts are preorder.  We will have a very limited number on site for sale race day.

Stay Hydrated & Stay Safe
This event is CUPLESS. Please bring your own water bottle, hydration pack, or cup.
 
Restrooms
Those familiar with JMF will already know the drill, but for those who are new, there are classic outhouse restrooms at the start/finish area. Some fondly refer to these as the outhouses from hell. There are additional portable restrooms about 1/8 mile down the gravel campground lane which are much cleaner and better maintained. All of these will be open and accessible to race participants. 
 
Aid Station
We will have an aid station about halfway through the course. Just a reminder our trail races are cupless. Please bring your own water bottle or hydration vest. This greatly reduces litter and waste from our trail events.
 
Course Description
The Start/Finish line will be near the Horine Reservation Parking Lot.
Course: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/411964502

We are finalizing the course GPX file, but the planned course will be 9 to 10 miles.
 
Packet Pick-Up
Packet pick-up will be on-site at the Horine Reservation Parking Lot. We will be set up and ready for you about 7:00 AM. Please plan to pick-up your race packet with enough time to allow for pinning your bib before race start.
 
T-Shirts
Shirts for this series are an optional add-on.  This keeps the cost of the race reasonable for families. We will have a limited number of shirts available for sale on race day. If you know you want a shirt, please pre-order during registration. 
 
Parking--ARRIVE EARLY & CARPOOL
We ask that you plan to arrive early for parking. Carpool as much as possible. Parking is limited at Parking Lot. We want to be respectful of the parks so we are able to have many more great events in the future. Carpooling is preferred to make space for everyone planning to participate. If you are planning to run with a friend, we encourage carpooling.
 
Water/Snacks
This event is CUPLESS. Please bring your own water bottle, hydration pack, or cup. Bottled Water will be available in limited supply. Water and pre packaged snacks will be available post race.
