The 5K Trail is held before the ultra event. Headlamps and appropriate weather gear are recommended. All 5K registrants receive an event shirt and finishers receive a special 3D printed medal at the finish chute. Awards will recognize Top 3 overall male and female finishers and 1st place in each age group.
The Mini Barnyard Ultra is a last runner standing trail event run on a 2.083 mile lap course on a repeating half hour schedule until one runner remains and then completes a victory lap within the 30 minute time limit to be declared the winner.
