Cup-Free Racing!
Nothing kills the vibe of running through the forest like coming up on an aid station littered with discarded single-use cups. Sure, our volunteers would clean up afterwards, but in an effort to reduce our impact on the natural areas we love, we are going cup-free!
There will not be paper cups at aid stations or at the start/finish. If you expect needing hydration on-course, you are responsible for bringing your own cup/bottle/bladder. We will have water dispensers at aid stations to top-off.
Going cup-free is a significant step to bringing our event closer to zero-waste and being better stewards of our public lands.
Check out this resource for why and how to go cup-free.
Pro-Tip: Event sponsor, Movin’ Shoes, has loads of hydration options!
Goodies
TBD.
After Party
Our celebration of Fall, trails, and Indian Lake doesn’t end at the finish line; we are looking forward to the return of our post-race party!
The Currach Irish Trio will once again be headlining while we enjoy food, beverage, and the raffle.
*Public health recommendations will dictate what exactly our celebration will look like; participant and volunteer safety of course remains our priority!
