Series Rules Like last year, finishes from your best 3 races keeps you in the running for the Dirtiest Dozen. If you run more than three, we use your three BEST results. However, the East Fork Trail Run needs to be included among these three. At the East Fork Trail Run we shall once again have handicap starts. Your actual finish position determines your placement for the Backpack Trail Run scoring. However, your actual running time, not your handicapped finish place, is used to determine your place among the Dirtiest Dozen.
Awards Asics Trail Shoes (one pair per person) to 1st place male and female after each race. SmartWool socks to 2nd and 3rd place finishers of each race. Note: only one pair of shoes to a participant during the five race series. Cumulative - The Dirtiest Dozen: Top twelve male and female series winners (based on cumulative finish position of your BEST three races - East Fork has to be one of the three) receive a Technical Shirt.
Door Prizes After each race there will be an additional pair of shoes given by random drawing. Winner needs to be present to collect. Only one pair of shoes per person during the entire series (Dirty Dozen shoe winners may receive a second pair).
