Race Info
The course will be well-marked with orange pin flags, “WRONG WAY” signs, and arrow signs.
Each participant will receive a wood-carved Firebird medal, handmade by one of the club members. The top non-binary male and female finishers in each race will receive top finisher awards and additional swag.
Unlike other races, to compete here, you must donate to a non-profit of your choice in addition to paying the low registration fee. The organizers ask you to contribute at least $20 to a non-profit that aligns with your values.
