* IMPORTANT WEATHER UPDATE *
We've been monitoring the weather and the forecast weather for this week. After consultation, our venue partners have deemed the ground too soft to park cars in our designated area. Running in the mud is fun, stuck cars are not. As a result, we've made the decision to postpone to our alternate date of February 17th. We apologize for the necessary date change and hope you'll all join us for a better event experience on Saturday Feb, 17th!
Come join us for a special event giving runners the opportunity to experience the Off Road Vehicle Trails at Lake Stanley Draper!
These well groomed single track loops are normally off limits to pedestrians but will be open for four great distances at the Rose Rock Trail Run presented by the Crosstimbers Riding Area and benefitting the Earlywine Park YMCA Scholarship Campaign.
Never tried trail running? You're missing out! Rose Rock is a great event for first timers looking to supplement their road running regimen with some new experiences. There are four distance options to choose from and all trails are suitable for runners of all abilities.
Already a trail running mountain goat? Rose rock is a great opportunity to see some new terrain on a 20K course option!

ALTERNATE RACE DATE
As you know, winter running weather in Oklahoma can be unpredictable. We've planned ahead and set an alternate date if for any reason, (monsoon, snow, ice, plagues of locust, rivers turning to blood, etc), we are unable to have our run on January 27th. If weather circumstances force a change, our preplanned postponement date will be Saturday, February 17th, same venue, and same time. We hope we don't need plan B but it's in place if needed.
