Oli Via

Oli Via Trail Races

Oli Via includes two trail events held at Reflection Riding: a half marathon (listed as 13.36 miles) and a 4.5 mile trail run. All courses are on dirt. While many sections are described as flat and fast, the courses include substantial climbing: the 4.5 mile course climbs about 731 feet and the half marathon climbs about 2,444 feet. The half marathon route is described as strenuous and runners and hikers should review maps and profiles before participating.

Pace and cutoffs are specified for hikers and slower participants: hikers are welcome if they can maintain about a 16 minute per mile pace for the half marathon and about a 20 minute per mile pace for the 4.5 mile. Cutoff times listed are 3 hours 33 minutes for the half marathon and 1 hour 30 minutes for the 4.5 mile.

Event policies and support: the race is cupless so participants must carry their own water or hydration pack. The half marathon passes an aid station by the visitor center three times with water, Tailwind electrolyte drink, assorted salty and sweet snacks, fig bars, gorp, soda, and basic first aid. The 4.5 mile participants should carry needed food and drink; snacks and drinks are available at the finish. Dogs are not allowed. Headphones are strongly discouraged for safety. No refunds or transfers are permitted. A t-shirt is not included with entry but is available for purchase after the race for $20. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
