The Firefly Trail Run Description
Take on the challenge of an incredibly beautiful timed trail race! You’ll tackle a ~3 mile singletrack loop—run it continuously for 6 or 12 hours—passing a stunning waterfall, mountain creeks, and even through a vintage event barn each lap. With 400+ feet of elevation gain per loop, the beauty of the course will help distract you from the challenging terrain.
The timed format is perfect for all levels. There’s no set distance—you decide how far to go. Complete just one loop or push yourself to see what you can achieve in 6 or 12 hours! The loop design means frequent aid station access, plenty of chances to see fellow runners, and less gear to carry.
Prefer something shorter? The 5K option covers one loop of this unforgettable course.
The race course and venue are all on private property and is reserved for us race weekend. The property is incredibly beautiful and perfect for a gathering, such as a trail running event.
Some quotes from past runners:
"What a wonderfully organized event. Such hospitality and care. Thank you Carrie." Mark
"I can’t say enough about @elevateeventcompany and the awesome event that they have created here. It really shows in the amazing volunteers that run the show and all the people on the course from the front to the back of the pack that push each other forward and carry each other along. You can feel the spirit of the community in all aspects of this race. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try hard things." Cole
"I cannot say enough wonderful things about Elevate Events and The Firefly Trail Run event. All staff are so encouraging and helpful. The event venue is breathtakingly beautiful and so well put together, even the final stairs to the top🙄😂. Hoping to come back to tackle it again! Thank you for a great trail run." Missy
You will be in awe of the beauty of this course and venue.
