About the Event:
👣 Are You Ready to Hunt?
Whether you’re chasing a personal best or chasing Sasquatch himself, this is one race you won’t want to miss. Gather your friends, bring the family, and come see if you can catch a glimpse of the legend.
Word on the trail is Sasquatch has packed up and headed north to escape the brutal Florida summer (turns out, all that fur isn’t exactly heat-friendly). But don’t worry—he’ll be back.
Once the cooler months roll in, Sasquatch will return to Bone Valley ATV Park, located in Mulberry, FL., brush off the dust, and begin preparing for race day… and maybe even leave a few clues behind for those brave enough to find them.
Join us at the rugged and scenic Bone Valley ATV Park for the Hunt for Sasquatch, a fun and slightly mysterious race experience featuring a 10K, 5K, and a family-friendly 1-mile color run. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just in it for the fun, there’s a distance—and an adventure—waiting for you.
