New this year: we will have a Family Fun Run with some extra mud for all to enjoy on Saturday June 22 at 4:30 pm. There is no age limit on this event! Costumes are encouraged. Details on how ti sign up to follow.  

Personal, Mandatory Gear List

Proper gear helps ensure a more enjoyable and successful experience. 

• Helmet - All racers must wear helmets throughout the entirety of the race. 
• Mountain Bike - A (mountain) bike and knobby tires is required for each racer. Don't have a bike? Many of the local bike shops will rent bikes for the event. 
• Small Back Pack with:
  • Water - All participants should pack at least 8 oz of water in a reusable water container on race day. We will have Hydroflask hydration stations at the start and finish area to ensure everyone stays refreshed and hydrated. We do not provide plastic bottles and are frugal with water cups. 
  • Small Snack - It's a good idea to bring a snack during the race.  
  • Small First Aid Kit - Basics like band-aids, neosporene and wet-wipes for those minor scrapes and bruises. 
  • Light Rain Jacket - We race rain or shine. This is a mandatory item! The weather in teh mountains can change on a dime. 
• Bike Gloves  - Bike gloves are mandatory to help protect your hands on the ropes and other obstacles on the course.
• Harness -  We'll provide a harness as needed, but you're welcome to bring your own.
• Life Jacket - We will provide a PFD for the water section and will be fastened by staff during the course.

Start Times and Wave Lists 

Start times and wave lists will be announced via email on Wednesday at 7pm the week of the event and will be published on the event web page. Make sure you, as well as your teammate, keep checking your emails to ensure you don't miss out on any important information leading up to race day. 

Make a Weekend of It 

There's plenty to do in Park City for families in the summer. Find lodging, book summer activities and check out all the wonderful things this destination location has to offer.
