About the Adrenaline Races

The Eisenbahn Trail was built on a former railroad corridor, and that history shows in how it runs: straight, open, and mostly flat the whole way out and back. The surface is crushed limestone, with a short stretch of pavement near the start and finish behind a residential complex close to downtown. Trophies go to top finishers, and age-group awards go several places deep.

Packet pickup happens race morning near the start line. Parking is at the Kuester Island lot off Main Street, with overflow across the street at Regner Park. The FAQ is worth a read before you go: the trail crosses roads at points, traffic is not stopped for runners, and the organizers are candid about it. Bug spray is also on their packing list.

Common Questions About the Adrenaline Races

Will I finish last at the Adrenaline Races?

Almost certainly not. Half the 6.2 Miles field finished slower than 59:17, and the last recorded finisher came in around 2:28:00, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Adrenaline Races a good first 6.2 Miles?

A field of 235 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 6.2 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Adrenaline Races?

The 6.2 Miles winner ran 33:50 while the median finisher took 59:17. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
