ROOTS ROCK TRAIL RACE: Forest 5K May 6, 2012

Welcome to the 2012
Roots Rock Trail Running Races!
This is a fun, challenging set of races through beautiful single track trails and dirt roads. Set in historic Port Gamble, the races are sure to please those seeking a fun, rugged alternative to the road. The trails are in the town’s privately owned 4300 acre tree farm, which is home to deer, owls, coyotes, bears, and other animals!

This year all the races will start and finish at the Uplands ( gate 6), just south of Port Gamble off SR104.

Shirts will be printed up only once, to guarantee shirt size and availability entry must be paid two weeks prior to the day of race.

We will have some T shirt design contests this year, so stay tuned to this site or the Facebook page for updates.

We will once again have the Course Record challenge. Beat the course record for any of the courses, male and female, and win $25.00

As usual we will have a ton of swag to give away after the races…. thanks to everyone who has participated and helped make these races so successful, we look forward to seeing you again in 2012.
