We're looking forward to a fun Mardi Crawl celebration with you!

We're looking forward to seeing you at Mardi Crawl on February 22 in Arvada, CO! Here's all the details that you need for a safe and fun event, please read them all the way through as there are some very important notes about the course for 10K and half marathon athletes!

• Trail conditions will be posted on our social media Friday afternoon, after we mark the course
• If the weather doesn't align with your training goals or preferred running conditions, you can transfer to a virtual event. However, this transfer must be completed by the website's deadline to avoid extra shipping fees
• Please review the updated course map and aid station details (revised as of February 5) as a construction detour required changes to the course route and aid station spacing

• Practice standard trail etiquette on this popular trail and be particularly mindful of cyclists when passing
• Ensure your bib is always visible and on your front, this is for your on-course safety and also for identifying photographs of you on course

• We have orange discs to block where you shouldn't go. Don't go through, around, over, or past any orange disc, or you will be off-course
• You can drop items at any aid station, but only items dropped off at your first pass of Aid 1 will be guaranteed to be returned to the gear check tent before you finish. If you drop items at any other aid station, the items may not be returned to gear check until the end of the event (1p)
