DeRailed 2020 Cancelled, DeRailed 2021 on September 18th

New Date: September 18, 2021

As a first year event, DeRailed 2019, was a success. Participants were enthused about being challenged in a variety of ways. We were excited to provide a similar type event this year.

               Because of Covid 19 concerns from both volunteers and potential participants, DeRailed Adventure has been cancelled for 2020. You will be provided a full refund of the

               registration fee in the near future.

               We anticipate the return of this event in 2021 and hope you will be able to participate at that time.

               Thank you for your interest in DeRailed.

Description

This is an adventure style race with multiple disciplines including running, biking, a water event and mystery challenges.

The course includes running on hard surfaces and a mowed grass trail.  Biking will be mostly on a paved recreational trail.  The water event is approximately 500 feet in length and you will be required to wear an approved life jacket provided by race officials.  Mystery events may be physical or mental.

This is a mostly self-supported event, especially related to hydration and personal needs.

  1. 1. Participants must be able to carry water on their person and/or on their bike.  Water is available to refill containers at pre-race/finish (Wapsi Great Western Line (WGWL) Trailhead in Riceville), at start, at McIntire City Park (the transition area from run to bike) and at Lake Hendricks.
  2. 2. Restroom facilities are available at pre-race/finish, the start, McIntire City Park, and Lake Hendricks.

First, second and third place awards for men and women.  This is a timed event.  Participants must arrive for the water event at Lake Hendricks before 11:00 in order to continue the race.  You have two hours and 40 minutes to officially finish and receive a finisher’s medal.  Those finishing in over two hours and 40 minutes will be given congratulations for their efforts.   All participants will receive a free lunch from 11:45-12:15.
