Double Down 8 Mile Trail Race & Four for 7/4
Weather Postponement
New Date: August 8-9, 2026
After careful consideration, we have made the decision to reschedule the events this weekend. Due to the large volume of rain forecasted and potential severe thunderstorms. At the end of the day, we just have to ensure participant safety.
We had spent a lot of time prepping the course, so I am super disappointed and would love to keep the event on schedule. I know many of you were training for this event, using the event as a training ground for future events, or just coming to check it out. I wish that the weather situation could have been better for everyone.
We have rescheduled the race for August 8th and 9th. We tried our best to not interfere with other events across the state. We also had to find a date that worked with the timing company and my work schedule.
Anyone that can’t make the event will be eligible for a full refund.
Again, I am sorry we had to make this call and sorry for the inconvenience.
