About the Sundown Rundown - Summer Edition
This is a backyard-style trail race with a twist: instead of a fixed finish line, the cutoff tightens with each lap, and the last runner to beat it wins. You can sit out a lap to protect your position, but once you do, you are out for good. The course is a short loop run repeatedly on trail, and the laps are intentionally sized to make pacing harder to calculate.
Parking on site is limited, so carpooling is encouraged. There is a covered area where athletes can set up their gear between laps, and a grill running during the event. A local brewery sponsors the post-race, and complimentary beer is available for participants of legal drinking age.
