About the event
The 2014 Trail Run Series will be on October 11th and 25th. Participants of the Valve House Fall Classic will be bused from the Nordic Center to the Valve House Trail Head.
This is an exciting point-to-point course which starts at the Valve House trailhead (across from West Fork) and finishes at the Nordic Center. The 6 mile trail winds up to the ridge and back down the Canyon Ski Trail to the Nordic Center. One long gradual climb and a screaming downhill finish. Bib pick up is from 7:30 to 8:45. The race begins at 9:00. Following the race, refreshments will be served at the yurt. Door Prizes and race souvenirs will be awarded at the completion of the final race (October 25).
