Big thank you to Tyree for helping me complete this FAQ and catching my mistakes. Enjoy the new, improved and updated post.
Our 2nd Annual Summer Series is coming. Love
trails? Love running with friends? Not afraid to get dirty? Then this series is
for you! With three runs to pick from, you can run just one, pick any two or
run all three events to qualify for a special ‘Beast Mode’ pendant. Medals with
swag can be reserved for $15 by sending funds via PayPal (select friends and
family when making a payment) to calltyree@calltyree.com
or contact Tyree at 760-912-1599 to make other arrangements. T-shirts will also
be available for purchase, check back for more details.
So as requested by several members, here is what you need to
know all in one place. Make sure to check the event pages on Facebook for last
minute updates and changes. If you are not on the MRTT Facebook page, please
ask to join because it really is a fantastic source for all of our club
happenings.
Event 1: July 12 at 6 am
Harford Springs Reserve Park Gavilan Hills. The address is 21470 Gavilan Road,
Perris. There is one port-o-potty at the entrance. Parking is free but space is
limited, however there is additional parking across the street in the
residential neighborhood.
Event 2: August 9 at 6 am Box
Springs Mountain Regional Park, Moreno Valley. This is a two loop option. The
first loop is for all levels and has beautiful views. Distance is approximately
three miles, but we will get the actual distance for you soon. For those
seeking something more challenging, we will have an additional loop. The
regional park has a bathroom and picnic tables. To help maintain the park, they
do suggest and appreciate parking donations. There is a payment box near the entrance.
Event 3: September 27 at 6 am
Sycamore Canyon Wilderness Park. We will be starting from Barton Entrance off of Alessandro. There are no bathrooms at this entrance but for a true trail experience there are plenty
of “bushes” provided but there is a gas station nearby!

Do I need
to register?
Yes please. In order to provide adequate
support we need to have a head count. To register simply join the event you
wish to attend, preferably in the Riverside MRTT chapter’s Facebook page, but
there are a few events also provided in some of our sister chapters.
3.
Is there
a charge to run?
No the event is free but space is limited.
4.
Where can
I buy the medals? SOLD OUT!
You can order them now and the price
includes a swag bag. The preorder price is $15 and $18 at the event but
supplies at the event are limited. You can send payment to Tyree at calltyree@calltyree.com via PayPal using
the friends and family option, and specify that you like to “run dirty.” Or contact
Tyree Lauritzen for other payment arrangements. The medal order needs to go in ASAP, so the $15 price is only good until June 1 and the price will increase to $18. Contact Tyree via Facebook or send her an email. As of today medal orders are closed. So if you haven't ordered yours yet, they are still available in limited quantities. After June 1 the prices will go up to $18. Along with your medal, there will be a goodie bag with some great surprises inside. Additional goodies will be available at run #2 and #3. So if you run all three, and purchase a medal you can get some really good swag. As of today PayPal orders for medals are closed, cash only at the event. MEDALS ARE SOLD OUT!
5. Do I get a medal if I just run one of the
events in the series? MEDALS ARE SOLD OUT
Yes! You only need to run one of the three
events to qualify for a medal. We have a special 'Run Dirty' charm
for those “BEAST” enough to run all three. Looks like we will be able to provide you with the Beast Mode pendant for FREE but you have to run all three events. MEDALS ARE SOLD OUT!!!!
6.
Where can
I buy shirts?
Shirts are now available! Cost is $15 and you will use
the same payment system as the medals. The first round of shirt orders are closed, but you can still order a shirt and have it later this summer. The second order will be placed July 1, so get your order in soon!
7.
Will there
be a swag bag or raffles?
Yes, raffles are in the works. Swag bags
will be included with the purchase of a medal. We will have a raffle at each run with lots of great prizes: running shorts, tutus, R.U.N. Charms, headbands, gym memberships, etc. One ticket purchase comes with a goodie bag. Tickets are $1 each or six tickets for $5 and are available at the event. SWAG BAGS ARE SOLD OUT!
8.
I have
something I would like to donate to the swag bag or a future raffle, whom do I
contact?
THANK YOU, yes! You can message Tyree or Cecilia via Facebook. Per
MRTT National rules business advertising is not permitted on the main page
except through Chapter events. If you want to get your business out there to
our members there are a few ways you can do this: by donating items for our raffles
and putting your business cards in swag bags; by donating samples in the swag
bags with your business card; paying a $5 donation to be able to include your
business card in our swag bags. You can also arrange to sell your items at the
events. We are still accepting donations, so if you are interested please message Tyree.
9.
What
should I expect at the run?
Expect everything from fire roads to
technical single track. There will be hills and changing terrain so be
prepared. Mostly expect to have a blast!
10.
Will
there be water stops or snacks on the trail?
There will be water and refreshments
available at the start and finish. Please bring a refillable water bottle for
the trail. We will provide a drop spot to refill your containers on the trail.
Don’t worry if you forget your water bottle, we will have some disposable water
bottles available for you.
Yes! To receive a medal, please provide a
photo of your trail run and either post it to the Riverside MRTT Facebook page
or email it to Tyree. When you purchase the medal, please provide your mailing
address with the following in the comments: “Run Dirty Virtual”. Note: Due to
shipping costs, there will be no swag available for those running virtually and
remember medal supplies are limited.
12. Anything
else???
There are unconfirmed rumors of brunch after
the events. Yum brunch.
Hope this helps and I will update this post as more
information comes available. If you see anything that needs to be corrected,
just drop me a comment.
Still wishing for better running weather,
Cheryl and Tyree
