The 2023 Super Bull Trail Championships will be held on March 11th & 12th, 2023.
It's hard to believe that this is all ready the 7th year of trail racing at Wooster Memorial Park! Each year, The Super Bull Trail Championships creates lasting memories while offering unforgettable experiences, excellent competition, and a challenging course. In addition to that, this event allows the Wooster Running Club to make a substantial donation to The Friends of Wooster Memorial Park. Those who have run with us in the past know that we treat each and every runner like a member of our family. Those who have yet to run with us, please read below and join us...we've always got room to expand the local trail running family!
Race proceeds will once again benefit the Friends of Wooster Memorial Park as they keep the park up to date with trail maintenance, clean-up and land development. But we all know the most beneficial way to help out the trails...run them! And we have plenty of options for that - a 12.5k, 25k and 50k and even the 5k!
As the 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 Super Bull Trail Championships all sold out, we encourage EARLY sign-ups to ensure your spot. The first 300 to sign up are in, so don't delay!
We are giving away $1,300 in total prize money in 2023!!
RACES:
The race will consist of 4 separately timed events - 5k,12.5k, 25k and 50k. Due to HIGH demand and LIMITED space at Wooster Memorial Park, the races will take place over two days:
Saturday, March 11 - 50k will start at 8:00am, 25k will start at 8:30am
**Please Note - The 50k will have a 9 hour time limit. If you have not started your final loop by 2:30pm, you will be asked to end your day, or you can continue on, un-aided and un-timed**
Sunday, March 12 - 12.5k will start at 11:00am, 5k will start at 11:15am
COURSE:
This is a loop style course featuring a 7.75 mile loop with approximately 1000ft. of climb per loop. Click here for the course elevation (courtesy of Danny Preising) The course is mostly made up of single track trails with some very technical treks, but some awesome views! As seen in the pictures above, there are creek crossings, you'll encounter your fair share of steep hills, lots of downhill and probably some mud! That's what trail running is all about! Check out the course map HERE.
