Race #3 of the Winter Wild Thangs Trail Series

Please remember that all RunningLane Events trail races are "cupless races." You must have a hand held bottle, pack or reusable cup as there won't be any paper cups at the aid stations to cut down on waste. If you don't have a reusable cup, there is the option to buy a RunningLane reusable cup at checkout for $5.

Welcome to the Winter Wild Thangs Trail Series! We are excited to introduce a new winter trail series to the beautiful mountains around Huntsville, AL. This series is designed for both new and experienced trail runners alike. There are 3 races total in the series with both short and long race distances. Starting in late December and finishing in January, these 3 races are designed to be competitive, help runners increase their race distances through the winter months, and most of all be a ton of fun. If you are training for HTC's Mountain Mist 50K, this is a great winter buildup to the grand daddy of them all, MOUNTAIN MIST! Get signed up for the Huntsville Track Club's Mountain Mist 50K as it sells out fast! Race info here: https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=113582

These courses have several bluff views with beautiful mountain scenery as well as creek crossings, water falls and more.

Several aid stations will be provided on the course with everything from water, Gatorade, coke, GU, pretzels, m&m's, granola bars and more.

We are excited to have Marco's Pizza as a sponsor of the Winter Wild Thangs Trail Series! All participants will have delicious Marco's Pizza waiting for them at the finish line of each race!
