Race Description
We have Race Day Registration from 6:15-6:45pm! Shelter 7 at Wyandotte County Lake Park, be sure to bring a headlamp and/or flashlight!
Both the Devil's Chase 6.66 miler and Creepy Crawl 3.33 miler will be on the East side mountain bike trails at Wyandotte County Lake Park parking/start at Shelter 7. The trails are single track; you will be running on rocks, roots, and dirt. This race is a NIGHT race. There is no external lighting on the trails. You are REQUIRED to have a light source.
The kids spooky sprint is held first at 6:30 pm. It is a free quarter mile dash through the shelter area for kids 10 and under, no registration required. Costumed volunteers will be handing out candy. Kids may bring their own bag, but we will have bags available.
The costume contest will take place at 6:45 before the race start.
Canine runners may be registered for $5 on race day at bib pickup ($5 goes to Urban Trail Co).
Details
Timing/results:
We will use clock timing. Results will be listed on ultrasignup.
Aid:
We will have a single water stop on both the 3.33 miler and 6.66 miler course.
There will be plenty of candy and some snacks, along with soda, beer, and sparkling water at the finish line.
We do not require participants to run with water, though we highly recommend it. You must provide your own hydration device such as a handheld or hydration vest.
Race Rules:
NO Littering! Please be sure that you pack out any gu wrappers, tissues or bottles that you use on course. Litterers will be subject to public flogging and humiliation (and disqualification).
No poles allowed (contact RD’s if medical/extenuating circumstances)
Dogs allowed. Dogs must be leashed and under control at all times and you must pick up after your dog. Runners will be subject to disqualification if these rules are not adhered to. Dogs must be registered, paid for and wear a number.
This is a cupless event. You are responsible for providing your own hydration device (see aid section).
Course must be followed as marked. If any portion of the course is cut, runners will be disqualified. If you get off course you must backtrack and follow the proper course.
Markings: Course will be marked using distinctive flagging/markings and will be explained in the pre race briefing.
Personal music devices are allowed as long as headphones are used and you maintain a volume that allows you to hear other runners. We recommend either one earbud or bone conducting headphones. NO SPEAKERS. These are single track courses and passing will be tight, please be courteous to other runners and stay alert.
Passing: Allow runners in front of you to know that you would like to pass and then pass on the left when it is safe to do so. On out and back sections, yield to the person returning to the start/finish area.
Kids are welcome to register. Kids under 12 must be accompanied by an adult for the entirety of the race course.

We Are Part of the Trail Mix Fund!
Do you want to race but can’t afford the entry fee? Are you a part of the BIPOC or LGBTQ+ community? Apply to the Trail Mix Fund to have your registration fee waived. You can learn more on the website: https://trailmixfund.org/
In an effort to improve the diversity in trail racing and remove a potential barrier for the under-served and under-represented, we've partnered up with the Trail Mix Fund, a 501(3)c non-profit. While we all like to think this sport is accessible – “you just need a pair of shoes” – that just isn’t always the case. The Trail Mix Fund is available to anyone wanting to run a race who could use some assistance in paying for it and for those from the BIPOC & LGBTQ+ communities. During registration, we are accepting donations to their organization. All donations made here go directly to the Trail Mix Fund, not to this race. Please consider helping this organization by donating!
Event's current local time: 4:21 PM CT
