10 KM Cut-Off: 4.5 hours

26 KM Cut-Off: 6 hours

The cut-off for each day is 2:00 PM for both the 10 km and the 26 km distances.

Cut-off times are meant to keep everyone safe and ensure everyone returns, NOT to cut your race short! If you are close to making the cut-off time, we will use our discretion before pulling anyone from the race. We believe in you, take that shot and try out the longer race!

There is free parking at the event starting area in a grassy field. Parking areas will be marked, and you will be directed to the parking areas when you arrive. There is no shortage of parking, but the drive up Midday Valley Road can take awhile with a lot of traffic heading up so we suggest giving yourself extra time in the morning!

• Epic Prizes! Great prizes for podium finishers in all distances and tons of draw prizes, too.

• Beautiful Custom Wooden Plaques For Podium Finishers

• Finisher Medals

• Custom Racer Bib

• Timing [100+ racers will have Chip Timing]

More details coming soon.

We love the kids’ races, so bring your kids out for a super fun time!

Kids will be running a 1 km out and back on Saturday, and biking a ~2 km loop on Sunday. Draw prizes to follow!

Registration for the kids’ race will open closer to the event date.

We’re encouraging donations for the kids’ race entries to cover the costs of bibs and medals, but it is not required. You’ll have the ability to donate upon registration or onsite.
