Fit Farmer 12K Trail Run
The Fit Farmer 12K Trail Run is held on the Flag Rock Area Trails in the City of Norton’s Flag Rock Recreation Area. The event is part of the High Knob Triple Crown running series and the 2027 edition is the tenth annual race.
The course travels predominantly on singletrack trails with a few short road sections where vehicles may be present. Organizers mark intersections and important turns using pink survey flags and yellow caution tape, and course marshals are positioned at most trail intersections. Aid stations are located at approximately the 1.6-mile, 2.8-mile, 4.1-mile and 6-mile markers.
Race-day procedures include packet pick-up in the Norton Reservoir/Upper Reservoir parking area and on-site registration. Timing is done by hand; runners must display their bibs at the finish and wave placement information is printed on each bib. Because runners start in waves, awards may be mailed or hand delivered after the race, and official results are posted online the same day.
Facilities and logistics: two portable toilets will be available at the start/finish with hand sanitizer provided, and Norton offers four hotels plus an 18-site campground near Flag Rock Recreation Area. Organizers will monitor severe weather and may delay the race if conditions pose a safety risk; the event is planned to run in most weather conditions.
