The course follows the equestrian trails of Lake Rebecca Park Reserve and offers a variety of scenery. The trail surface is packed dirt and grass. There are several moderately difficult hills within the route, with limited roots and rocks. Lower areas and those in dense woods may have mud or standing water of a few inches. Like any trail, runners should take extra care with their foot placement during the race. See the course map link for route details and an elevation chart. The 6k route is completing a 3k loop twice. The loop shares the westward part with the larger loop and runs counterclockwise. Course Map: Trail Mix Race Course Map PDF

Parking is free at Lake Rebecca. Depending on where you park, it may be a 5-to-10-minute walk to the start area. Get directions to the park. Should onsite parking fill, staff will greet you and direct you to an offsite parking lot. A free shuttle will be available from overflow parking to the event village and will run throughout the day to bring you back to your vehicle.

The race will go on! Spring weather in Minnesota is highly variable and past Trail Mix participants have run in the sunshine, in the cold, through rain, in a few inches of snow and through plenty of mud. Lightning may delay the start of the race. In the unfortunate case the weather is deemed too dangerous to be on the trails, the race will be cancelled. Refunds will not be issued for event cancellation.

50k runners must begin the 4th loop by 2 p.m.
