Course and race notes
Embrace the cold, and conquer the Darkness!
Step into the freezing night and chase miles under the stars in the 16th Annual Winter Night Trail Run Half & Quarter Marathon! This race has sold out every year - and for good reason. Experience a raw and gritty challenge, unlike anything you’ll do in the daylight.
In the organizer's words, from the race's own listing.
