Here’s what you need to know for 2025:

  • Registration will open on June 5th. There are 80 racer spots in the series, available on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • Series Registration will close on June 26th or when all spots are filled, whichever happens first.
  • There is a $220 registration fee for the full, six-week series.
  • DROP IN RACERS: A limited number of $40 drop-in Single Race Registration spots will be available for each race. Single Race Registration will be available online only on a first-come, first serve basis.
  • Drop-in Single Registration closes at 12 noon on the day of the race.
  • New this year: All racers will receive up up THREE timed runs on each week’s race trail, with the best time counting. The top 20 finishers in each category will win points for the overall series standings.
  • We will be racing on three different trails, hitting each trail twice over the six-week series. Not only will you be competing against your fellow racers, you’ll also be racing against yourself!
