Buck Ridge Burn Trail Races
About this race
Two fun racing options for my awesome Buck Ridge Burners this year! For Covid19 Considerations, see below.
OPTION 1: IN-PERSON RACE-DAY RACES!
Our 2026 IN-PERSON events will send you out into the woods of the Michaux State Forest to test your trail grit on one of three challenging courses. What better way to shake out those winter legs than to leap over logs and splash through April creeks? Come play in the woods with us and feed your soul!
OPTION 2: RUN ANY TRAIL VIRTUAL EVENT
Don’t want to or can’t travel to the Michaux for the event? Want your sister in California to race with you from across the country? Find a favorite trail course by you and submit your virtual results to earn your BRB swag and be a part of our awesome BRB community!! Again, there will be a limited amount of registrations for this option, so sign up early!

Half Marathon Trail Race
Looking for an IN_PERSON spring-time challenge? Take on the grit-testing Half Marathon! There's a little bit of everything on this course: creek crossings, mud, roots, rocks, grinding climbs, great views, grassy rolling double-track, and swift, windy single-track. The course is extremely well-marked with a generous 4 hour & 15min time limit, but the course record is HOT and hard to beat! Come have a crack at it!
10K+ Trail Race
Back this year! Get more than your money's worth out of this 10K+! Run a classic Michaux trail mix of double-track, snakey single-track climbs, and wild, windy descents! This is SUCH A FUN COURSE!!!
5K-ish Trail Race and Fun Run
In the mood for a quick trail fix or trying out the trail scene for the first time? The 5K+ course will leave you feeling satisfied with its winding, rolling single track and refreshing April creek crossings.....
