Frick Summer Trail Race Series Presented by Paper + Dirt

We are super excited to announce the start of the Frick Summer Trail Series launching in July 2024. Races are held four consecutive Wednesday evenings: July 17th, July 24th, July 31st and August 7th. Individual races cost $20 or $25 depending on when you register, but we offer multi-race discounts. 25% off when signing up for the full four race series. You may also do walk-up registration in-person on race day for $30 cash or credit card from 5:00pm to 6:15pm.

All races start at 6:30pm. You must start the race by 6:35pm or your start timing may not record accurately.

Races will take place rain or shine. Any decision to cancel due to dangerous weather (thunder/lighting) and/or air quality issues in will be announced in the afternoon the day of the race. We will post updates through email, Paper + Dirt website/social media and updates on the RunSignUp page.

Each race will be 5-6 miles in distance. We will post the exact routes within each race's registration page and email out to all participants beforehand.

• RACE # 1 and 4 will follow the same route, allowing runners to measure up the final week against their first week's time. Designed by Chas Wagner.
• RACE # 2, designed by Kevin Tucker and lead of 3 Roc's Adventure Racing Team, will be Orienteering-specific. Think check points and scavenger-hunt vibes.
• RACE 3: HILLS HILLS HILLS - COURSE BY XANDER ZINSMAIER. Not for the faint of heart or exertion. Xander will be having you climb and then climb some more. Not many PR's this week, but certainly good for marathon and ultra training! Approx. 3 miles.
• RACE 4: Following roughly the same course as Race 1 - approx. 5 miles. Designed by Chas Wagner.
