Join us this August for a fun series of shorter midweek trail races. Our goal is to offer a fun, low-key series of races designed to give newer trail runners an opportunity to dip their toes into the trail racing waters, and to offer more experienced trail racers a chance to sharpen their speed on shorter, quicker courses.

After each race, we will be providing pizza with support from the Fort Collins Running Club, and beverages with support from New Belgium Brewing

All race participants are welcome to a free vintage shirt from previous Gnar races (your choice and as available). Trail Series shirts are also available for purchase with registration. Awards will be given out at the end of the series to top points scorers.

We acknowledge and respect those who experience their gender identity in ways outside of the traditional male/female dichotomy, and are trying our best to provide non-binary opportunities in both the registration and results to reflect that. For the purposes of awards, non-binary runners will be eligible in their birth gender pool.
