The Trauma 12.4 Mile CHALLENGE - In Person
This race is only for experienced runners due to the difficulty of the course. If you need a challenge, this is it! *THERE IS A 4 HOUR CUT OFF for this race! The course follows the Ache Around the Lake course for the first lap. The second lap starts off following the Ache course but with a continued climb after GRUNT #1. Expect some pretty views as you gain in elevation. Take in some more sights of the lake before you hit the hill on Lake Road which promises to take your breath away! Enjoy some recovery on the descents and a flat section on Butter Street before you begin the final climb back up to the lake and the final descent to the finish line. The race will start at 7:30 AM and depending on COVID restrictions may be started in small waves or individually. Look for instructions via email in the days leading up to the race.
