So grab your favorite “Spuddy Buddy” and get out and move! You can still train with your friends, create teams with co-workers or family, and come up with funny spud team names. That part will still be the same. We will be back next year but for now, we will keep everyone safe and healthy by going virtual.

This year will be different but think of all the benefits of a virtual run. No getting on the bus at 6am, no trouble finding parking, no standing at Lucky Peak waiting to start in the wind. You will still receive your bib, t-shirt and medal, and the satisfaction that you completed YOUR race.
