We’re throwing a spring awakening at Forever Farm. A slice of private singletrack heaven normally guarded by gates and "No Trespassing" signs. This is the only weekend of the year you’re allowed on these trails without a court date. It’s technical, it’s rugged, and nature will likely try to trip you. But hey, we’ll have a beer waiting at the end. The Details (Pay Attention) The Vibe: High-energy singletrack, questionable jokes, fly tunes, and fresh food. The Course:  Continuous loops. Simple navigation. Same suffering. The Distances: 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Full Marathon, Ultra Rock Relay (100k cumulative distance)  The "Ultra Rock" Relay: Teams of three. Two runners on course at the same time. 100k cumulative distance. This isn't a solo sufferfest. It's a squad mission. MONEY IS ON THE LINE!  Learn More About the Ultra Rock Relay Schedule & Saturday Scouting Saturday, April 10: Rock Monster MTB races (9am-3pm). Heckle cyclists. Scout lines. Join the party.
