About the Wild Card

The Wild Card is a variable entry in a long-running winter series, and the course is genuinely unknown until the year it runs. It might be trails, it might be road, but it will have hills either way. The distance shifts from edition to edition, landing somewhere in the short-to-middle range.

Non-members can join on race day by signing up on-site at the start. Those chasing series awards need to have run at least one other race in the series and completed a volunteer shift, so it is worth reading the series rules before you show up expecting to be in contention.

Common Questions About the Wild Card

Will I finish last at the Wild Card?

Almost certainly not. Half the 6 Miles field finished slower than 46:21, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:20:37, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Wild Card a good first 6 Miles?

A field of 259 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 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Wild Card?

The 6 Miles winner ran 29:17 while the median finisher took 46:21. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
