Course Preview Runs
We host two preview runs to get prepared for the Quarryman Challenge. Both the 5K & the 10-Mile will be ran. Registration is not required for these course preview runs. Sponsored by LemonTriClub. You’ll run the course and get a better idea of how to navigate this hill race filled with turns. Runners will become familiar with where water stations are located, the hills to expect and how to best prepare for race day.
Volunteer
The Quarryman Challenge would not be made possible without the many volunteers! Volunteers are required to participate in a brief training. Volunteers will receive a t-shirt to wear for race day!
