Summer TNR Starts May 30

Last Updated: 05.Apr.2017

The first race of the series will be held on May 30 and we will once again rotate between two different five-kilometer courses at the Outdoor Center, with a couple of jaunts up the road to Hosmer Point (HP). Bikers and runners alternate courses every week, with bikers contesting one course and runners the other to prevent any lapping. Both courses incorporate some of the old-school singletrack as well as the new flowy singletrack. 

Once again we will be recording points for the season total, but we've changed the scoring a bit. Women and men will be scored separately this year; and we're going to a system that awards points based on time rather than on finish position - click here for full scoring details. At our last race on August 22nd, we will celebrate the series with a post-race brick oven pizza party and distribute prizes for age/gender groups for the series! 

Registration will open for everyone at 5:15pm on the Upper Soccer Field by the white tent and will close at 5:40pm for bikers and 5:50pm for runners. The bikers will start at 5:45pm and the runners at 6:00pm sharp. Entry is $5 for each race or $30 for the entire series - annual members and houseguests race for free!  For more information about the Tuesday Night Trail Races you can visit the website here - including what course will be used each week (remember: cyclists will use the opposite course each week from the runners). 

Come get fit this summer at our 5k Trail Series. We encourage folks of all ages to come participate in these fun races!
