The Trail Marathon Relay uses the full marathon course with a pass off at the Piedras Aid Station (mile 13.1). There is no shuttle for the relay; vehicle drop off and parking are noted at the Piedras trailhead. The Summit Chase 10M is an out-and-back to the top of Raptor Ridge, elevation 688 ft; the fastest time to the top and back claims the crown. The Valley 5M is described as a flat, roughly 5.4 mile out-and-back along the valley floor. The Elevated Youth 1 Mile is a non-timed run for children 10 and younger and includes a finisher shirt and medal.
The event is run as a cupless race series; aid stations will not provide cups and runners are expected to carry their own hydration vessel. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
