About
Some call it Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Half, some call it The Winter Trail Fest Half some just think What The F….. This race is not for the weak of heart or the cold intolerant. We will be down at Yankee Springs for a winter trail half marathon race and we will be hoping for some of the nastiest conditions possible! We really want you to earn your WTF Medal and WTF custom hoodie! The afternoon start will give you a chance to relax and enjoy the morning before tackling 13.1 brutal miles in the afternoon!
Not quite ready for a Half Marathon but still want to race? There is also a 5 mile option!!
As with all of our races, Trivium is going to give you the best race experience possible with easy to follow trail markings, lots of aid on the course, live results, and unique prizes!
