Runners will traverse 2 10-mile loops in a figure-8 fashion, with an aid station located about 5 miles into each loop and crossing through the main pavilion in the center.One final mile awaits you at the end of this race to complete the course. Those runners finishing under 30-hours will be awarded with a beautiful Mighty Mosquito belt buckle.

Solo Cutoffs: TBD

Mini Mosquito 50K Solo Runners

This race will challenge runners to take on 2 laps of each course for a total of 33-ish awesome miles! This race starts at 9:00am, and NEW in 2023- no 10 hour cutoff! 50k runners will have the same cutoff as the 100 milers, with the stipulation that they do not leave the course. Stopping for breaks is permitted, but leaving the park will result in a DNF. A fully stocked aid station will be provided at the end of each loop located at the start/finish line.

Mystical Mosquito 50K Solo Runners

****NEW THIS YEAR****
This year we are adding a nighttime 50K option. Starting at 9pm runners will take on the challenge of 3 loops of the 100 mile course in an A-B-A fashion. On these loops runners will find a stocked aid station and experience the all the sights, sounds and joys that running through the night will bring. Runners will have till 12:00pm on Sunday to finish the race. While napping and rests are permitted, leaving the park will result in a DNF (same as the Daytime Mini Mosquito).

We opted for the 10 mile loop as a way to introduce runners to the next step in our 100 mile race!

Volunteers

This is a large event that spans more than 30 hours. As a result, volunteers are critical to keep all runners safe and on course and to help the event run as smoothly as possible.

All relay teams, regardless of size, are required to bring 1 volunteer who is available for the duration of the event. Volunteers will be on a schedule, and that schedule will be published in advance so everyone is on the same page. Number of shifts and length of shifts will vary depending on the number of teams we get. Duties include but are not limited to: road crossing marshals, directing runners on course, aid stations & more.

Thank you in advance for your understanding!

Refunds

This event is to raise funds for the Blue Foundation, thus there are no refunds. We apologize for the inconvenience but keep in mind you're helping a great cause!
