The Cathedral Caverns Trail Run starts in a beautiful valley with picturesque mountains and fields in the background. This trail race is designed for both new and experienced trail runners alike. The last 1.2 miles of the 5k and 15k runs through the cave is an out and back 0.6mi segment that is wide enough for 2 way traffic. Runners will pick up a glow stick at the turn around point and the decorative lighting will be on at all times.
The average temperatures for race day are a low of 44F, high of 67F. Meanwhile inside the cave the year round temperature is a cool 58F. This will truly be a race like no other.
Aid stations will be provided on the course with everything from water, Gatorade, coke, pretzels, M&M’s, and more.

Weather & Cutoffs
These are low-traffic trails, so we expect this race to go off rain or shine. In the event of severe weather (highly unlikely in November) we will delay the start as necessary to avoid lightening. If severe weather threatens the entire day and does not appear to let up, we may be forced to cancel. However this is not typical for this area during this time of year.
Average Temperatures: Low: 44F, High: 67F
The cutoff for the 5K is 1hr15min. This works out to be 24:00min /mi pace. The 15K cutoff is 2hr30min or 16:40min/ mi pace. If you cannot maintain 16min pace we ask that you please consider running the 5K. There are cave tours that will start after the race so we must adhere to these strict cutoffs.
There are no refunds, credits or friend/ family transfers on entries.
