Rules
Wildflowers are blooming along the course!
You are required to enter the name and email address and sign a liability waiver for each participant prior to starting the course. (There is a reminder onsite so you can register online immediately before starting the course.)
The course begins and ends just south of the main shelter (by the playground) at Erbach Park in Athens. There are two checkpoints along the course. You may use any combination of the two marked routes to get from each checkpoint in numerical order. Both the GREEN route and PINK routes are all on doubletrack.
The pink and green courses are slightly different distances (2.6 mile and 3.1 miles) but may be slightly shorter or longer if you mix and match the two courses.
A map of the trails and GPX files including the two marked routes are located here.
If there is litter, crowds, or vandalism at our parks, parks may be closed. Please bring gloves to pick up any litter and follow all current Safer at Home orders including social distancing. If the trails seem busy, please come back at another time.
If participants suspect any course markers have been removed, use your map / GPX files and report to executivedirector@ironbull.org.
To be eligible for prizes, you must register, submit your result, AND submit at least one picture participating in the event which may be posted on social media. You may post the picture yourself on social media, send to IRONBULL via Facebook messenger, or email pictures here.
Participants are encouraged to do the course multiple times. Participants may submit one entry for every route completion to increase your chance at a prize (as described above)! To help you remember to submit your result, a QR code is located at the finish line to direct you to the result submission form.
For the fastest time, winners must be verified by submitting their route within 24 hours of notification. Examples may include Strava, FitBit, Garmin or another tracking app data or you may submit a selfie picture from each checkpoint.
The walk / run(s) must be completed between May 29 and June 14, 2020 and results submitted before June 16, 2020.
One prize per household.
Please uphold good sportsmanship and trail etiquette. If you need to pass someone on the trail, alert them and give each other plenty of space. Earbuds are discouraged. Note trails are open for mountain biking and part of the pink course is on a 3D archery range.
You must complete all sections on foot (no bikes), with the exception of joggers.
Dress for the weather and leave a plan with a friend so they know where you are and when to expect you back.
Participants are encouraged to do the activity with their household and/or pet and wear a costume!
Updates including fastest times will be periodically updated on our website and Facebook page.
Note: This is NOT an official race and you do so at your own risk. Be safe, make good choices, follow all applicable directives regarding public lands and CDC recommendations, and make sure you have gear suitable for your local environment.
