About the HRCA Wildcat Mountain Trail Races

The course runs entirely on dirt trails through the HRCA Backcountry Wilderness Area, starting from a middle school trailhead and heading out into the Wildcat Mountain trails. The terrain rolls through open country with mountain views, and wildlife sightings are realistic out there. Trails are mostly single track, so expect narrow paths and natural footing the whole way.

Packet pickup runs the evening before at an office location in Littleton, with race-morning pickup also available at the trailhead starting area. Parking at the school is free but can fill up, so carpooling is worth considering. Restrooms are on-site at the south end of the school. Pancakes from a local vendor and post-race beers are at the finish.

Common Questions About the HRCA Wildcat Mountain Trail Races

Will I finish last at the HRCA Wildcat Mountain Trail Races?

Almost certainly not. Half the 10K field finished slower than 1:02:30, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:54:21, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the HRCA Wildcat Mountain Trail Races a good first 10K?

It is a small race (95 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 10K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the HRCA Wildcat Mountain Trail Races?

The 10K winner ran 42:54 while the median finisher took 1:02:30. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
