Join one of our relay teams for the Bridle Trails Winter Festival! Every January, we put together a number of relay teams for this event, which takes place in Bridle Trails State Park. Each team consists of up to six runners who trade off to complete six 5.2 mile loops for a total of 50k. The race starts at 3pm, and can go a few hours past dark. We try to build the teams evenly making it fun and exciting to see how we will finish amongst ourselves (we'll mix faster and slower runners). All paces and efforts are welcome! We'll set up a tent during the event, so that when you are not running, you can cheer, warm up and enjoy snacks!
In order to participate on one of our teams, you'll need to be a member of LSRC (Free or Full) and answer a series of questions upon registering so that we can best accommodate everyone's preferences and make it as fun as possible!
1. How many 5.2 mile loops do you wish to run? (Only 1 or 1-2)
2. When would you prefer to run? (Daylight only, Night only, no preference)
3. What effort do you plan on running? (Equivalent road pace in min/mi).
4. Are you interested in being on a competitive team or are you just joining for fun? If there are enough people interested in "racing" this and we have enough runners to build at least three total teams, we will build one "fast" team to compete with other clubs/groups going for the podium. We will still try to evenly match the remaining 2+ teams.
Please register here (NOT on the Winter Festival website) by Tuesday January 9. Once you submit your registration, we will put together the teams and you will have to sign a waver. The registration fees for the teams is on us, but we would happily accept a $20 donation, which is roughly what it will cost per runner.
On Wednesday, we will start building the teams based on the answers to the questions and provide a email updates leading up to the event that will include which team you've been assigned to, and the approximate time(s) you will be running. The email(s) will also include information to complete a waiver that must be signed before we pick up our bib on race day.
