Onyx

Sandbags, Flags, Teams, Trails, and Points

Challenge Yourself

Goal:  Score as many points as possible

​

Duration:  4 hours

​

The Onyx race is our signature event that completely flips the script on what a trail race can be.  Instead of racing for time, participants race for points.  The goal of the race is to score as many points as possible in a 4-hour time frame.  Points are earned by running designated out-and-back routes and bringing back either a sandbag or flag that are at the end of each of these routes.  

Each route has different point values and sandbags are worth double the point amount than flags.  The longer the route, the higher the point value.   With various route distances, there becomes an element of strategy and figuring out your strengths.  Racers can choose long routes or short routes and do not have to run all of the routes.  You can even run the same route over and over during the allotted time.  

​

Know your strengths, set your strategy, and challenge yourself.
