Oli Via Half Marathon and 4.5-Mile Trail Race at Reflection Riding

Bad Beard Events and Wild Trails are partnering together for the Oli Via Half Marathon and 4.5-Mile Trail Race on Reflection Riding’s campus.

This race is a collaboration with Bad Beard Events and their Oli Kai timed 3,6 and 9 hour race on Saturday, Sept 6. Oli Kai’s races are all on dirt and most of the sections are flat and fast, however, Oli Via’s 4.5 mile race has 731 feet of climbing and the ½ Marathon 2,444 feet. This is NOT an easy race. Please study the maps to make sure you are ready for a challenge. Hikers are most welcome if they can maintain a 16 minute per mile pace for the ½ marathon and 20 min/mi for the 4.5 mile. The cutoff time for the 4.5 mile race is 90 minutes and the ½ marathon is 3 hrs & 33 min. The run/hike will be followed by post race snacks and beverages.

To make things more fun, join Bad Beard Events for the Oli Kai Trail Race on Saturday, September 6th! You can camp on Reflection Riding’s campus Friday night, run the 3, 6, or 9-hour trail race Saturday, camp again on Saturday night, and wake up on Sunday to run Oli Via.
