Overview

Get ready for a unique and enjoyable running experience on crushed rock terrain with moderate shade at the upcoming race event. The multi-loop course, estimated at 15′ elevation gain per lap by Garmin, promises an exciting challenge for participants, especially those aiming for the marathon distance with 14 tentative laps.

As part of the Mainly Marathons series, participants can benefit from exclusive discounts using codes available in The Loony Bin newsletter and Mainly Marathons Facebook Group. For any inquiries or clarifications regarding discounts, feel free to reach out to the organizers.

Navigating the course is made convenient with a central “aid station,” a distinctive feature of the multi-loop setup. Expect an abundance of food and drink options, going beyond the usual race fare. From fruit to jelly beans, sandwiches to hot coffee, and more, the organizers provide a diverse array to fuel your journey. The Loony Lunchbox, their very own mobile kitchen, adds to the convenience and variety.

Beyond the race, join in the festivities at The Loonies celebration after the last race of Summer Camp on Wednesday, July 19. Enjoy free food and drinks, and share laughs with fellow participants, whether you completed all the Summer Camp races, provided support, or simply appreciate the socializing. If indulging in drinks, please plan for safe transportation.

Notably, there is no time limit for the event. The organizers adhere to a “no runner left behind” policy, ensuring a supportive atmosphere until the final finisher crosses the line. Walkers are encouraged and always welcome to participate.

While the event warmly welcomes single strollers for those with little ones, pets are not allowed for the safety and comfort of all runners and walkers. Organizers aim to create an inclusive and enjoyable experience for participants of all levels. Lace up your running shoes, embrace the multi-loop challenge, and be part of the Mainly Marathons series for a memorable and fun-filled running adventure.
