5k Event Details
This is one of Trivium’s oldest courses. One of the first races to take place at Maybury State Park, some of the trails were specifically carved out to help create the Bootlegger course. These trails are lightly rolling and also have very limited roots on it. On a dry day, trail shoes wouldn’t even be needed.
The first mile starts with wide grass trails in the prairie. This is a great way for athletes to spread out, and also get comfortable with night running. There are virtually no roots on this area, and plenty of room to pass. Plus you get to see your 500 other bootleggin’ friends and their headlamps traversing the course!
Mile 2 and 3 athletes move into the woods, and onto single track dirt trail. These trails are kept in great condition, and are perfect for our nighttime trail event. Mile 2 has a few more rolling hills before things flatten out for the last mile. The total elevation gain on the 5K course is 140 ft.
The entire course is lined with hundreds of LED tea lights, giving athletes a very simple course to follow. The course also has turn signs at every turn, and our milers are marked with bluegrass music!
This course is a classic, and if you haven’t tried it yet, now is the time!!
