Course Description
In the 1st-8th grade categories, Little Hurt includes 3 legs - biking (can use any type of non-electric bike), rowing on rowing machines provided by the Olympic Peninsula Rowing Association, and trail running in the forest behind the campus. Each participant does all of the legs - there is not a relay option for Little Hurt.
In the K / Pre-K (ages 3-5) categories, youth will bike and run only (no rowing machines) and must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times. This is a very short event just for fun and to expose kids to the fun of riding, running and racing with friends!
More volunteers are always needed!

All youth should display the highest degree of sportsmanship! The very best athletes lend a hand when challenges occur for their fellow racers.
