Redman 9 miler

Join the YRRC for the final Trail Race of 2026! This race will be run around the scenic Lake Redman.
The route is mostly single track, climbs a cumulative total of 1,200'+ and crawls under Interstate-83 twice. Both tunnels carry water, usually ankle deep. The second tunnel crossing (~50yds long) will require you to duck your head the length of the tunnel for clearance. You don't need a headlamp, but if you are claustrophobic or afraid of a bit of dark, this is your notice.
There will be one aid station a bit before the half way point stocked with water, Gatorade, performance candy and other fast energy goodies.
Plenty of time to get around the course. 2 hours to the aid station (4 miles) and 4.5 hours to the finish cutoff.
Race day bib pickup starts at 9am Saturday morning
The course will be open to the public during the event, so runners are asked to conduct themselves courteously to other trail users. Littering will not be tolerated. PLEASE WEAR ORANGE (or brightly colored clothing).
The race is part of the YRR Trail Series so any current YRRC member that runs will be eligible for points.
Online registration closes December 2nd. Race day registration is available for $35, cash or Venmo.

A finisher item will be awarded to all finishers and top 3 men and top 3 women finishers will earn premium items. Post-race food in the pavilion. If we get at least 60 people signed up, Gina’s famous sweet and smokey brisket will be at the finish line! So tell your friends!
