Shirts, Weather, Awards

Race Shirts
All participants will receive a short-sleeve tri-blend race shirt (while supplies last). Shirts are soft, lightweight, and designed for both running and everyday wear.

Awards
Age group awards will be presented at all four races in the following divisions:

Overall male and female awards will also be presented.

Weather Policy
The safety of our runners, volunteers, and staff is our top priority. In the event of lightning or other severe weather, the race start may be delayed until conditions are safe. If severe weather is expected to continue throughout the day, or if snow and ice create unsafe trail conditions, we may be forced to postpone or cancel the event.

Our goal is always to hold the race on its scheduled date. If conditions prevent that, we will make every reasonable effort to reschedule the event whenever possible.

Registration Policy
There are no refunds, deferrals, race credits, or friend/family transfers for any entry.
Race shirts and finisher medals will not be mailed to participants who are unable to attend. Any remaining race shirts will be donated after the event.
