About

The Firefly Six Hour Trail Race is a six-hour timed night trail event. Run as many trail laps as you can in six hours. Participants complete as many laps as they can on the Franke Park Trail network for up to six hours. The route consists of paved path, gravel and single track dirt trail. Each loop will start/finish at the HUB. Only full loops will count toward your mileage total! The HUB is a multi-use facility built and maintained by the Summit City Singletrack mountain bike riding club. The HUB is equipped with picnic tables and shade triangles. The HUB will also be lit after sunset. You can find the HUB between the gravel parking lot and Derby Hill. There will not be an aid station on the course. Bring your own snacks and drinks to keep at the HUB. We encourage you to bring your favorite snacks and drinks to share at the HUB during the race. This is a great opportunity to share and try new trail treats. New to Franke Park? There are a few things to keep in mind: Trail pace is about two minutes per mile slower The trails are technical!
