Not on Our Watch Trail Race

We are incredibly honored to team up with Operation Underground Railroad for this beautiful 5K trail race! All ages and fitness levels welcome! April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month AND National Month of Hope. Children and youth who are sexually trafficked often have been victims of child abuse. We are working hard to do our part to raise awareness and help save as many kids as possible from being trafficked and sold into slavery. You can help and let human traffickers know, "Not on OUR watch!"

Rucking Division

In addition to a running division, we offer a rucking division. Rucking is walking with a weighted backpack/ruck on your back.

If competing for the top 1-3 places for male, female and non-binary, you must meet the minimum dry weight requirement inside your backpack/ruck before anything else, including food and water. We recommend a ruck plate of some sort but it's ultimately up to you. Other options for weight include dumbbells, sandbags, or weight plates. Weight vests and ruck plate carriers are allowed.

Men and Non-Binary Adults - 30 poundsWomen - 20 poundsKids - 10 pounds (Ages 8-17); 5 pounds (under 8)

If not competing for the top 1-3 places, then the weight you carry is up to you.

Course

The course runs mostly in Dimple Dell Regional Park. Most of the trail is dirt or wood chips while small portions that are used are paved. The race is professionally chip timed. The chips are attached to the back of your bib number. Bibs must be worn on the front of you in order to be accurately timed.
