All of Stay in the Shade's runs and hikes are held on trails. Only the toughest and most scenic trails are selected. You'll encounter hills, rocks, mud, sand, logs, fallen trees... If you wouldn't take being called rugged as a compliment, this might not be your kind of run.
Whether you're looking for a competitive race, a challenging run, or just a way to enjoy the outdoors you'll find it here. Top finishers will receive prizes and all participants take home a great experience, and a t-shirt.
Want to come support the cause but don't think you're up for the run? Come hike a short version of the course. Its a great way to get involved and get some exercise. Dogs are more than welcome!
