Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Half Marathon and 5 Mile

About

We are headed into lucky year seven of the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Half Marathon! We have decided to make it a bit more fun and add a 5 mile non-river crossing event too!  This race could be anything.  It has been 85 degrees and bone dry and it has been 35 degrees, extremely slippery trails and the river crossing uncrossable.  Lean into it, have fun and just say WTF!

If you haven’t come out before, you are missing out on gorgeous trails, epic water crossings, hoodies, mega finisher’s medals, bumper stickers, fun prizes, great food and beer!  What better way to enjoy a mid-winter day!  This will again be the first race in the Trivium Running Series and the Triad Mega Medal Series.
