No updates at this time

• 6pm - Event #1 5K - Daylight
  • 1 hour cut off for finisher medal
  • The first half of this race will take you from lake level to the top of the park where you will make your way back down with a last minute push to the top of a long finisher hill ending back at the shelters. However, don't let the “down hill” fool you as it even has uphills. 
• 7pm - Event #2 10K - Daylight
  • 2 hour cut off for finisher medal
  • A modified course from our Edurus 10K. Expect hills and creek crossings. Finish will be an extended version of our finisher hill ending at Shelter #2.
• 9pm - Event #3 15K - Night Time
  • 3 hour cut off for finisher medal
  • The final race takes place primarily in the dark. Headlight is required. This will be a revised version of the Noctua 15K course that incorporates the courses of event #1 and #2.

Registering to do all three events, enters you into the stage race. You must have completed the prior stage before moving on. All event stages start at the specific time and you may not start the next stage until that time.  The time between event stages is not counted towards official overall time and is a chance to refuel and rest. If you miss the cut off of event #1 or #2, you may move on, but your official time starts with the main field of the current event. To be official stage race finisher you must finish by the midnight cut off.

To register as a relay team, each participant needs to register in their individual event and join a relay team during registration. Teams may consist of 2-3 members.

Relay Examples

Three Person Team: What Month is it?
April, May and June want to run as three person team. April will register for the "5K Trail Run" and create the team "What Month is it?". May registers for the individual "10K Trail Run" and joins "Team Summer". June registers for the individual "15K Trail Run" and joins "Team Summer". Their team is now completed with a racer in all three stages.

Two Person Team: So Sue Me John
John wants to do the 5K and 10K stages while Sue just wants to run the 10K. John registers using the "Both 5K & 10K" option and creates team "So Sue Me John". When Sue goes to register, she selects the "10K Trail Run" and joins the team "So Sue Me John".

Scoring
