2023 events

Our 2023 races will send you out into the woods of the Michaux State Forest to test your trail grit on one of two challenging courses. What better way to shake out those winter legs than to leap over logs and splash through April creeks? Come play in the woods with us and feed your soul! 

We plan to stay compliant with the CDC recommendations for holding a safe outdoor event, which, at the moment of this writing, include the following mitigation efforts:.

• Masks are encouraged at race headquarters when you cannot keep a 6 foot distance or when in a crowded area.
• Folks will be encouraged not to smoosh together in groups anywhere.
• The Half Marathon will start at 9:00a.m. 
• The 5K will start at 10:00a.m.
• If you have been exposed to the Coronavirus within 5 days of race day and are not vaccinated or have not received a booster, please email the race director. You will have the option to defer until 2023 or transfer your registration to a virtual option. This is per the CDC recommendations for quarantine/isolation.
• Of course, if you have any symptoms of Covid-19, please do not come to the race and expose your fellow trail runners. Email the RD and we'll figure out an option for you.

PLEASE, if you do not feel you can gracefully comply with these very reasonable measures, I encourage you to sign up for a VIRTUAL option or to wait for another year to sign up for the IN-PERSON event.
