New Date: February 15, 2025
Dear Little River Trail Runs Racers,
Ready to get muddy? We sure are! The 20th Annual Little River Trail Runs are almost here—this Saturday, February 15! Below, you’ll find everything you need to know, including info for Virtual Racers, to have a smooth, fun race day. (Most important: carpool, carpool, carpool! )
If you have any questions, shoot us an email at littlerivertrailruns@gmail.com. See you at the starting line!
Weather & Race Day Essentials
Forecast calls for chilly temps and drizzly — classic LRTR conditions! Mud makes it fun, but with temps at 38° by noon, be sure to bring warm clothes for post-race soup sipping.
Pro tip: Pack a towel, dry socks, and shoes for the ride home. Wet feet are guaranteed!

Parking & Carpooling
Carpool if you can! Wet conditions mean some usual parking spots are off-limits.
Arrive early and follow our awesome parking volunteers’ instructions. Races start on time—if you roll in late, you may be briefly diverted for safety.
Race Day Details
Start line is near the park entrance off Guess Road. Be mindful of traffic!
Courses are well-marked:7K → Blue flags
10 Mile → Orange flags
Much of the course is single-track trail—passing requires patience. Say “On your left!” if overtaking.
Bridges may be icy/slippery—walk them for safety.
