The race
This women-only trail running event is held in Riverhead Forest, a picturesque commercial pine forest that offers a unique running experience. Participants can choose to enter as solo runners or form relay teams of 2-6 women, with the goal of completing as many 4km laps as possible within designated time frames of 3, 6, 9, or 12 hours.
The course is primarily situated on the lower valley floor, providing a mostly flat terrain which is accessible for a wide range of abilities. Teams have the flexibility to strategize their participation, selecting who runs and how many laps each member will complete, while adhering to the rule that only one runner from the team is allowed on the course at any time.
The atmosphere is characterized by a strong sense of community and camaraderie among participants, fostering an encouraging environment for all. This event is organized by Lactic Turkey and GoRun Girls, reflecting a commitment to promoting women’s involvement in trail running.
