FAQ

What if I can't make a race in the series?

You can request a 75% race transfer credit (applied to any future Gnar Runners race, valid 12 months) up to 72 hours before each start. After that, credits are not available; waitlist transfers are allowed when races sell out.

Are there aid stations?

There are no on-course aid stations for the 5K, 10K, or 12K, but there are two permanent toilets at the start/finish. The Valley 5K passes additional park restrooms; the Hilly 5K & 10K pass one at 0.25mi; the Valley 12K passes toilets at 0.25, 3.8, 6.1, and 6.3mi.

What about dogs and pacing?

Dogs are not allowed on the course with runners. No mechanical aid (poles, traction) is permitted unless approved by race staff in advance. Pacing is allowed only within your start wave and must respect no-pacing expectations on trail sections.
