Mugs:
For anyone that signs-up online and in advance of the race, you get a logo'd finisher's mug!

Course:
The course is an out-and-back course on very hilly and tough trails. These trails aren't "sissy" groomed or paved trails; they're the real thing.

2011 Race
Well, our race lived up to it's icy logo...11 degrees at the start, with a snowy, squishy trail.  We also offered up a lot of:
Family Fun. Hills.  Spills.  Dogs.  Donuts.  Hot Starbucks Coffee. 
Mugs.  Music.  Marines!  Dick Ross.  And shoe-screwing mayhem.
No records were set, except a record for FUN.  
Thanks Again & happy trails,
Bad Ben & MudBabe Sophia
