TrailCross is a race that brings you back to the most primitive form of competition, beat the person standing next to you.
This style of race is a hybrid between a traditional trail race, and the tournament style format found in a Ski/BMX Cross race. Racers compete in multiple heats, advancing only by finishing in the top half of their heat.
The race is designed to challenge both the elite runner and the beginner with a challenging course that offers racers a shorter but higher intensity track. The race is designed to coincide with recent research showing the benefits of short term interval training for general fitness as well as high level athletes.

Specifically How It Runs
You may have raced in a TrailCross event before, or know someone who has, but this event will differ slightly. This is a no frills all racing event. No prizes, no sponsor giveaways, no finishing medals, this is simply for the love of the trails and competition. Racers will be divided into mens and womens heats, no age or skill level diistinctions. Each heat will eliminate the last place racer and this will continue until there is one final mens and womens heat, and we will crown a champion. Bragging rights are all you will receive at this race, but after the event is done the rest of the field will recognize the effort and athleticism it takes to win.
What if you run in the first heat and are out after that? Yes it's a very short course and that may be your only heat. Our first suggestion would be to step up your training and come back stronger than ever. However we will also grant you a free entry into the next event we run this year to give you another shot at redemption.
