Tic-Tac-Toe Trail Party

Tic-Tac-Toe Trail Party

Tic-Tac-Toe Trail Party is a trail event at 1 North Adventure Trails in Blanchard, LA. The event offers multiple distance options and records times without age groups or overall winners. The stated goal is to achieve three O’s in a row on a personal tic-tac-toe bib, with several other prize conditions available.

Distances:

• 5 Miles
• 8 Miles
• 12 Miles

At the completion of each lap, each runner plays a small game of skill or chance that places either an X or an O on the bib. Examples include rolling a six-sided die with equal X and O outcomes, choosing between two concealed symbols held by a worker, or a coin flip. The course is always associated with X marks and the runner is always O. X marks use black sharpies and O marks use a surprise color sharpie.

A circuit is defined as three completed loops. Times are recorded by circuit; the event notes specific timing examples for partial circuits and how circuit times are assigned. The maximum number of miles referenced is 12 for some entries; some entry details specify minimum distances per option.

There will be an aid station at the start/finish area and water at the trail turn-around game table. The organizer mentions cake and ice cream at the finish, a bib/nutrition belt giveaway labeled Tic-Tac-Toe Trail Party, medals, volunteer opportunities, and offered race credits for volunteers.
