new! cutler challenge
NEW! The NUT Cutler Challenge is a three round, cutoff based trail running competition designed to test endurance and race day strategy.
How it works
The NUT Cutler Challenge is a three round, cutoff based trail running competition built to test endurance, pacing, and race day strategy. All competitors line up at 7:15 am for a scenic and demanding 25k (15.6 mi) loop which must be completed by the cutoff time to continue to the next round. After completion of the first loop, runners will line up for a second 10k (6.4 mi) loop, starting promptly at 11:45 am, creating a 4 1/2 hour cutoff. You must start the 10k loop on time to advance. Upon completing the 10k, following the same format with a tighter cutoff, the runners that have made it back to the finish in time to start a 5k (3.5 mi) loop at 1:00 pm will now compete in an all out, top three-take-all race to the finish. The 5k will start with a blank slate and the standings will be solely determined by the results of the final loop. All three loops are unique and explore different parts of North Fork Park and the surrounding Forest Service trails. Whether you complete the first lap or all three, this event will challenge your stamina and grit.

6 hour Duo Category Details
A duo comprises two people on a team. Teams are either Run teams or Ride teams, there is no mixing and matching.
Duo teams do not ride or run together, but switch off laps, relay-style. One run/rider can complete more than one loop in a row, but loops must be completed individually, while the other team member hangs out at camp, refuels, naps, checks out the festival, etc..
Duo teams will have two of the same participant bib. In addition, they’ll have a bracelet with the timing chip on it that must be handed off to the active racer that is completing a loop at that time. That is essentially your racer baton.
Categories: There are no subcategories below the Duo level this year, all duos are put into either the Run or Ride Category, and will not be separated by Male/Female/Mixed.
