THE FROSTY MOSS EXPERIENCE

Frosty Mossers trace the Olympic Discovery Trail (paved multiuse path) & Adventure Route (singletrack trail) from west to east, beginning at the Camp Creek Trailhead along the Sol Duc River and finishing in Blyn at Sequim Bay. Mini Mossers follow the Olympic Discovery Trail from Ediz Hook in Port Angeles to Blyn at Sequim Bay.

You will be asked to enter the average pace of your team (minutes / mile). Be as accurate as possible. Do NOT pad your time because you are worried about making the cutoffs. IF YOU RUN FASTER THAN YOUR AVERAGE PACE AND BEAT THE EXCHANGE ZONE VOLUNTEERS, YOU WILL BE HELD AND MADE TO WAIT. YOU DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO GAIN BY PADDING YOUR AVERAGE PACE! If your team members change over time and you need to adjust your average team pace, you can do so.

You are welcome to use our PACE CALCULATOR [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iaYu3Lf_xyLeU2TQDt2wsw2hZ2aL1Top-ISIR8bu31M/edit?usp=sharing] to help you. Please read the instructions on it first.

The team captain and 50K solo runners must attend the check-in/orientation at 7 Cedars Resort on Friday evening, March 14th. Your team can come with you, but only the team captain is required. Captains bring your Team Roster and your required night running gear.

Make sure to book your room(s) at 7 Cedars Resort [https://7cedars.com/hotel] - you can walk to your room right from the after party! They are offering a special rate of $159 King or Double Queen for us. To book, call the reservation agents at (360) 683-7777 Extension 1 and use the booking code FROSTY
