Nail the Rail 9 Miler
Run the Rail 5 Miler

5 Miler Added!!!

Saturday - NOVEMBER 7, 2020 – 9 AM

Runners attempt to NAIL the RAIL by running the 9 mile course in 60 minutes or less.  A simple concept.  Start at milepost -0- at the Dick & Willie Passage’s Virginia Avenue Trailhead.  Run to trail Milepost 4.5.  Turn around and run back to milepost -0-.  Runners of all abilities welcome.  Whether you run 50 minutes or an hour and 50 minutes, you accomplish something that a majority of folks cannot.  You run 9 miles!

Not up for 9 miles?  New this year, we have the RUN the RAIL 5 Miler option.  Start at milepost -0- at the Dick & Willie Passage’s Virginia Avenue Trailhead.  Run to trail Milepost 2.5.  Turn around and run back to milepost -0-.  A fast 2 ½ mile downhill finish!
