From the Organizer

Join us on Sunday, July 12 at 9 am for a free preview of the Sidewinder 9 mile loop! You DO NOT have to be registered for Sidewinder or plan to participate in Sidewinder to enjoy this preview run. Please be sure to register for the preview run if you plan to attend so we know how many participants to expect.

The run will be at a "Party Pace" (~15:00 min miles), meaning the run guide will wait for all participants at each intersection. Important locations will be pointed out during the run, including aid station locations, tricky navigation areas, and the connection to the start/finish area. 

Minimal aid & supplies will be provided, please bring your own hydration and nutrition. The preview run start location is still being finalized, but parking may be limited. Carpooling is encouraged. 

More details forthcoming, but we will be joined by Hollow Oak, Public Lands, North Park Trail Runners and more!
