Noctua Trail Runs - 5/10/15K and 30K Stage Race

• 6pm - Event #1 5K
  • 1 hour cut off for finisher medal
  • The first half of this race will take you from lake level to the top of the park where you will make your way back down with a last minute push to the top of a long finisher hill ending back at the shelters. However, don't let the “down hill” fool you as it even has uphills. 
• 7pm - Event #2 10K
  • 2 hour cut off for finisher medal
  • A modified course from our Edurus 10K. Expect hills and creek crossings. Finish will be an extended version of our finisher hill ending at Shelter #2.
• 9pm - Event #3 15K
  • 3 hour cut off for finisher medal
  • The final race takes place primarily in the dark. Headlight is required. This will be a revised version of the Noctua 15K course that incorporates the courses of event #1 and #2.

Registering to do all three events, enters you into the stage race. You must have completed the prior stage before moving on. All event stages start at the specific time and you may not start the next stage until that time.  The time between event stages is not counted towards official overall time and is a chance to refuel and rest. If you miss the cut off of event #1 or #2, you may move on, but your official time starts with the main field of the current event. To be official stage race finisher you must finish by the midnight cut off.

We are accepting relay teams for the 30K stage race. The team captain will register and create the team. The cost is $85 per team plus $10 each additional member. After the team is created, the next member will only pay $10 registration fee. Team can then divide up the overall cost of the race among themselves and who will run what leg.
