The Kill Creek Trail system was constructed and is maintained (with a lot of hard work) by the Earth Riders Trail Association (ERTA).  This trail is fairly technical, and has roots, rocks and two stream crossings for our race.

$8 Day of Race Entry Fee, (and sign the waiver).

Sign-up Day of Race Only.  Please show up at least 30 minutes prior to 8 a.m.

Proceeds from the race will go to the American Cancer Society and ERTA.

Sustainability - The Trail Nerds have been working diligently to establish a Sustainability mission statement.  Our goal is to minimize the effects of our events and activities on the environment.  We want to leave the trails better then how we find them.  As part of this race, we will require all participants to carry their own water bottle or hydration device.  We will provide water at the start / finish and one un-staffed aid station.  There will be NO cups.  Each runner will have to refill their water bottle or hydration device at the un-staffed aid station as needed.  There are approximately 25 million Styrofoam and paper cups thrown away each year but none from this event.  We will also be using removable course markings and requiring everyone to carry out what they take in.  We treat litter bugs............just like whiners.
 
Inclimate Weather Provisions: This event will be held rain or shine unless there is lightning, high winds, tornados or other acts of "Mother Nature" that deem otherwise.  However, the use of the trails could be discouraged (by the Park Authorities) due to weather-related muddy conditions on the course.  If so, we have an alternate route planned on the asphalt trails.  We will still have coffee, donuts and a drawing in Shelter #1, not to mention the fun camaraderie, either way.  Prizes courtesy of the Trail Nerds, Vasque shoes, and Garry Gribble's Running Sports. Tax-deductible donations written to "ERTA" will be appreciated.
