SOLE PURSUIT RUNNING
Something stirs in the forest after dark… and this October, you’re invited to find it.
TRICK or TRAIL returns with a pulse of adrenaline and a twist of mischief—where flickering lights guide your way, shadows move when they shouldn’t, and every step pulls you deeper into the unknown. Choose your distance, bring your bravest friends, and expect the unexpected: a little fright, a lot of fun, and just enough candy to keep you running.
Costumes are encouraged! For those who want a little incentive there will be prizes!

COURSE INFO
EVENT DETAILS
Distance Options:
• 15M with 500 m of elevation gain

Location:
Upper Kenna Cartwright Hillside Parking Lot
Course Experience:
Navigate winding singletrack trails under the cover of darkness, guided by reflective tape and chalk arrows. But beware, this course has a mind of its own. Expect the unexpected… jump scares, flickers of movement between the trees, and eerie encounters that may quicken more than just your pace…
NOTE:
Individual devices may track mileage and gain/loss of vert meters different than our records. This can be due to many variable factors. Values provided are for general guidelines.
WARNING:
Due to the nature of running at dusk on uneven, rocky terrain headlamps or flashlights are required for each individual and will be checked at check in. This is for the safety of all participants, volunteers and others on the trails.

POST RACE COSTUME CONTEST
Bring a chair and stick around for the social! This is what trail running is all about!
Summon your most creative, creepy, or clever costume and join the post-run parade. Impress the judges and you may be crowned… or cursed
The post-race costume contest will take place once all runners have crossed the finish line. Bring a sweater or a jacket because once the sun goes down it will be a little chilly!
RESULTS
Official results will be posted on Ultrasignup, usually within 48hrs!
