About the Event

This is a trail run through the beautiful woods of Colt Creek State Park. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or reveling in the joy of the run, our race at Colt Creek State Park promises an unmatched blend of fitness, camaraderie, and natural beauty. Picture towering pine trees, flat terrains, and serene lakes—all set against the backdrop of pristine wilderness.

Our courses are very well marked with signage. Aid stations will be every 2.5 miles. Some will be self-serve and some will have volunteers. On-course restrooms will be at mile 3, 6, and 9.5 of the Half-Marathon and mile 3 of the 10k. Keep our State Parks clean. Dispose of all trash in the trash cans.

All of our races are professionally chip timed and managed. Our events are family friendly with a vibe that has athletes returning year after year. Each athlete will receive a swag item, medal and post race snacks. We have overall awards and age group awards for each distance.

Are you with a Run Club? Get your team together and compete in our Run Club Competition. Awards will be given to the fastest team in the 5K, 10k and Half (cross-country scoring). We also give out the Get Up & Go Award, which goes to the largest team.
