    Overview

    The idea for this race stemmed from discussions about organizing a race in our area and having it be a fundraiser. As such, all proceeds from this race will go directly to Penticton Search and Rescue, a dedicated group of volunteers that are vital to our outdoor community.

    This race takes place in the Three Blind Mice trail network, just outside of Penticton. This is a special place for many that play in the outdoors. The trails are amazing, thank to PACA and their stewardship. It's all single track! Some of it can be quite technical, while other parts are are super flowy.

    Your race organizers are 5 friends with loads of trail running experience. Our goals are to show off the trails off the Mice and to ensure that each runner has a genuinely fun and rewarding experience.
