About the Event

Starting the new year off strong with a walk, run, or ruck your way back into shape.  Looking forward to a night trail run starting at 6PM through the single track mtb trail or the paved Soda lake loop route.  This is a great way to get ready for that ultra you've been training for or just want to change it up from early saturday morning start times.  

Single Track MTB trail is roughly 7 miles.  Trail is rolling with very little roots or debris.  

Soda lake loop is our beginner friendly route around 4.5 miles but paved the whole way for those unsure about footing or it being dark.  Grab your buddy and lets go!

Our ruck route will have a minimum of 35lbs to qualify.  It will follow the same 4.5mi route on Soda Lake Loop with the Trail Runners.

Head Lamps are recommended but a light source of some kind is mandatory in order to run the race.

Working on some overall prizes and a few items to raffle off to anyone with a bib number!

Routes will be uploaded soon.

Expect us to have some Taco Soup with Fritos at the finish line and a prize table full of goodies to be raffled off at random.
