Organiser's description

New for 2025, The Trak Shak Trail Series is a no frills, 5K "race" series. Each race will be timed, but there will be no age groups or overall winners awards. However, we will feature a different brand of shoe at each event, and you will be entered to win a pair of shoes from that brand. We will also demo shoes from each brand, which means you can take a pair of shoes out for a test run on the trails at Red Mountain! If you participate in more than one of the events, you will receive a non-cotton, running t-shirt. There is a one time registration fee, and you can pick which races you want to run. Keep an eye on our event page on Facebook for more information to come. All proceeds will go to Red Mountain Park.
