The Experience
Two fun racing options for my awesome Buck Ridge Burners this year! For Covid19 Considerations, see below. OPTION 1: IN-PERSON RACE-DAY RACES! Our 2026 IN-PERSON events will send you out into the woods of the Michaux State Forest to test your trail grit on one of three challenging courses. What better way to shake out those winter legs than to leap over logs and splash through April creeks? Come play in the woods with us and feed your soul! OPTION 2: RUN ANY TRAIL VIRTUAL EVENT Don’t want to or can’t travel to the Michaux for the event? Want your sister in California to race with you from across the country? Find a favorite trail course by you and submit your virtual results to earn your BRB swag and be a part of our awesome BRB community!! Again, there will be a limited amount of registrations for this option, so sign up early!
