Organiser's description

Flyin' Nutz!Need some extra incentive to do some speedy training? We're offering $250 to the female that breaks the course record and $250 to the male that breaks the course record!Female record: set in 2024 by Colleen Wilson = 1:02:03Male record: set in 2024 by Joe Stewart = 55:40---------------------------------------------------------------------------This trail network is a hidden gem!! For the most part, these trails are fast and flowy singletrack...with some technical sections thrown in for good measure. There are a few slower and more technical sections (very short though) thrown in there to keep you on your toes. The course will be predominantly an "out and back", but there is a 1km loop at the far end along Sandy Lake before you make your way back towards the start/finish. The Flyin' Nutz course consists of 95% single track and 5% ATV/logging road!!During your run, please be aware of flyin' nutz from the village squirrels!! They've been known to get angry in this forest :)*The first 50 runners to register will receive a long sleeved FN shirt (a running shirt, not a cotton one). Volunteers, you get one too :)
