13.1 Miles 6.6 Miles Run Trail Virtual

Beat the winter blues and stay motivated by participating in our brand new Winter Warrior Series! Each race will highlight a different local park and keep you motivated for spring racing. This time we are hitting the trails of Waverly park for a 6.6 mile loop or go all out for a half marathon.

Will there be a virtual option? Yes! As with our Cryptid series in the summer, the Winter Warrior Series does offer a virtual option by request and we bump everyone over who did not finish in person to this option after the race. Instructions will be sent after the race with details of how to complete the virtual option. That said, virtual finishers count toward the Winter Warrior status, but are not eligible for Event or Series awards.

Complete all of the Winter Warrior Series to earn your Warrior status.

Deam Lake Winter Warrior

Waverly Winter Warrior

Rose Island Winter Warrior

Ol' Silty Winter Warrior

Awards

Each race will have awards for Overall Male / Female.
