The Tungsten Peak 11k is a challenging mountain course with awesome views, not a personal best time course! After a 2 mile dirt road warm-up be prepared for 1.1 miles of steep single-track, sometimes very rocky (you will most likely be walking some or most of this section) followed by a short (.25 mile) cross country section on a fairly steep sandy sagebrush slope before reconnecting with dirt roads back to the finish. Plan to be running/hiking for at least 20-30 minutes longer than your typical 10k. There will be one self serve aid station at approximately halfway. Please carry water during the run!

Once Upon a Matress

Music by: Mary Rodgers
Lyrics by: Marshall Barer
Book by: Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller and Marshall Barer

If you thought you knew the story of “The Princess and the Pea,” you may be in for a walloping surprise! Did you know, for instance, that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that Lady Larken’s love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling reason that she reaches the bridal altar post haste? Or that, in fact, it wasn’t the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you’ll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again.
