Welcome to the Icicles On The Moon Trail Run
This night event will be held at the famous Zindel Park caretakers house and will utilize the local trails around the reservoir. You must wear a headlamp and be prepared for any/all winter conditions as the event will be held as planned. We offer a fun and mostly runnable 7 miler that will use the Outer Limits and Spring Run trails on the back end of the Zindel area. The short course will be 5K that will use Gut Check and the Gorge Trail and will feature one short steep climb followed by mostly flat terrain.
