THE RACE

FRC's only trail race is back!
The trail race that you all loved last year will be putting you out in the woods once again! Come on out and get the FIFTH year shirts and coins. Each year is a unique specially designed race logo featuring our friends, the Deerfly. They've missed you!  

Who will wear the crowns this year?!👸🤴

We will start the dogs about 10 minutes after the runners. It is chip timed so you will still get only the time it takes for you to finish.

The race is capped at 200 runners.  Our sole sponsor is Heckler Brewing Company. Come to packet pickup and enjoy some good times on Friday night October 17.
