5K RUN - It includes the famed "Suicide Hill", an out and back 5K.  The run includes an up and over route of Suicide Hill.

PONY EXPRESS RELAY - As far as we know, it is the only one of its kind in Trail Runs. It will cover the 10K course. Three runners must compete as a team. Each runner will cover approximately one third of the course. Batons will be furnished. Get yourself a three person team and compete!
