Honestly, I think this goes for all Yeti Races — go run one! The have a cult following for a reason. I have crewed some Yeti races, but this was my first as a runner. I not only got my regular race swag, but at packet pickup, they had a bunch of free swag to choose from. The race itself was top notch — well marked and beautiful course, energy at the start/finish line, an amazing aid station. Loved every minute of it.

Ended Up Feeling a little Loop-y

I ran this race on 3/14/2020 as all of the Coronavirus fear was just starting and tons of other races were cancelling. Jason, the RD, allowed for a virtual option for those who did not wish to travel, and also made the decision to make the event self supported to best protect the volunteers and all participants. Even with the toned down nature of what I hear this event usually is, it was still a ton of fun and offered some real beautiful views of Sugar Creek State Park. Jason and the Yeti Trail Runners are the real deal and encompass everything that makes the trail and ultra community so special. I will definitely be back once the pandemic calms down.

This year’s version of the Yeti 7/11 endurance run was on a shortened 4 mile loop. Packet pickup was in the visitor’s center of Sweetwater State Park, and the start/finish line was just outside the building. The trail was a mixture of single track, dirt road, and double-wide trail. Near the end of the loop, the trail ran along the edge of Sweetwater Creek, with the ruins of an old textile mill. Incidentally, the mill ruins was used in a scene in one of the Hunger Games movies. There was one short, steep single track section, but the trail was runnable in its entirety. The trail got a little congested with park visitors in the afternoon, but nothing that got in my way. There were no finisher medals or finish swag, but it was still an enjoyable day in the park.
