Salomon OutdoorFest Ultra + Concert
Come for the ultra and stay for the party! All trail run tickets get you access to the after party with a live show and beer by Sierra Nevada.
The clock will be set for 6-hours and you (or your relay team) will need to run as many laps on our 6k course as you can. Then you get to rest, hydrate and check your splits before joining in for beer, dancing and a live show. Note: this is registration for the Salomon OutdoorFest Ultra.
