Trail Mix Race

Trail Mix Race

Trail Mix Race takes place on May 2, 2026 at Lake Rebecca Park Reserve in Rockford, Minnesota. The event includes multiple trail distances and uses the park's equestrian trails and looped routes.

Distances offered:

• 50K
• 25K
• 12.5K
• 6K

The trail surface is packed dirt and grass. The course runs through rolling hills, scenic wetlands, prairies and large woods. Several moderately difficult hills are present; roots and rocks are limited. Lower or densely wooded sections may contain mud or standing water a few inches deep, so extra care with foot placement is advisable.

There are four aid stations spaced along the route; all four provide water and Gatorade. Station locations and amenities include Don's Rock (1.7 miles) with basic support and bandages; South Group Camp (3.26 miles) with snacks and food; Roy Road (5.88 miles) with water, Gatorade and a toilet; and Beachside (7.75 miles) with water, Gatorade and drop bag access.

Parking is free at Lake Rebecca, with a possible 5 to 10 minute walk to the event area from some lots. If onsite parking fills, staff will direct vehicles to overflow parking and a free shuttle will run between overflow lots and the event village.

Packet pickup is only on race morning, starting at 7:00am. Fifty kilometer runners may use drop bags at Beachside between laps; runners in the 25K, 12.5K and 6K must carry their own supplies.

The 6K course is a 3k loop completed twice, running counterclockwise and sharing part of the larger loop. In cases of dangerous weather the event may be cancelled; refunds will not be issued for event cancellation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
