Onyx completely reimagines the traditional trail race. Competing for points rather than the quickest time, you'll discover this race challenges you in new ways. Runners get to select their preferred route mix with diverse terrain, distance, and challenge levels, then earn points by opting to bring back either a flag or a sandbag from the route's turnaround point.
Run. Carry. Score. Repeat.

4-hour &
8-hour
➡ 5 Trail Routes: Ranging from 0.5 mile to 8 miles roundtrip
➡ 2 Ways to Score:
Flag or Sandbag Carry
