Lake Tye Challenge

Heads up, all. Register by tomorrow before the price increase on April 30. All proceeds from the race go to the Sky Valley Trail Runners Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We are currently directing our efforts to support the Wild Sky Community Trail, linking trails through public lands from Gold Bar to Index and Heybrook Lookout. See Wild Sky Community Trails Association for more information on the WSCT.

Have you registered yet? Save before the price hike takes effect on April 30. You really don't want to miss out on running for 3, 6, or 12 hours with a bunch of wild and crazy guys and gals. We'll have burritos from El Paraiso Mexican Restaurant & Bar - Monroe, and a post-race party with live music at Dreadnought Brewing LLC.

You can swim all you want at the Lake Tye Challenge, but please obey the sign: “NO DROWNING”
Seriously - I went in the water after 12 hours last year and it was fabulous!
