Nail the Rail 9 Miler
Run the Rail 5 Miler
Saturday, November 7, 2020
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! COVID-19 PROTOCOLS
