This annual event caters to participants of all ages and abilities. The off-road run-bike-run challenge, starting at 7:00 a.m. on October 18, is open to individuals or teams.

Inclusivity is part of the program, with options such as the Stroller Trail 5K, and sustainable practices are emphasized throughout.
