Tips & Advice
- Arrive early to account for shuttle travel time from the offsite parking at Bear Creek Park & Ride, especially if you are not part of a carpool eligible for prime parking.
- Consider participating in the costume contest for a chance to win prizes from local businesses and add an extra layer of fun to your run.
- If you plan to run multiple events in the Winter Trail Series, utilize the series registration to take advantage of multi-race discounts.
