FRICK PARK RACE #2 (Designed by Lucas Marsak)
About
Designed by Sir Lucas Marsak, this is the second of four races in the Frick Park Spring 2025 Trail Race Series. We will be starting at 6pm on Wednesday, May 7th 2025. This week's course is 5.84 miles and 600 feet of climbing.
Year 2 of the Frick Park Trail Race Series is finally here! We couldn't contain our excitement for 2025, which is why it's a Spring Series and not a Summer Series. It was just so darn hot in July. Don't worry, we will likely double up this year with a mini fall series or fall weekend race.
Race Dates/Times
- Race #1 Wednesday, April 30th 6pm
- Race #2 Wednesday, May 7th 6pm
- Race #3 Wednesday, May 14th 6L30pm
- Race #4 Wednesday, May 21st 6:30pm
Each race is roughly 5-6 miles in length. Races 1, 2 and 4 will be traditional races, whereas Race #3 (May 14th) will be an orienteering-themed event. Think scavenger hunt with checkpoints and no set course.
We'll have prizes for Top 3 Men, Women and Non-Binary. Yes, juicy watermelon will be on hand. Yes, a food truck will be there this year. Yes, Lucas Marsak will have his shirt off (again).
Race shirts will be provided to all registrants this year. You only receive 1 race throughout the series, although anyone who signs up for the whole series receives a special item at our final race.
