Prairie On Fire Course Preview Run

Join us for the first Prairie On Fire Course Preview Run, hosted by This Blonde Runs Coaching!

We’ll gather at the picnic shelter at White River Campground, the very place where Prairie On Fire Backyard Ultra begins. The morning will kick off with a brief history of backyard ultras and Prairie On Fire, followed by a Q&A session with Race Director, TJ Dailey.

At precisely 8:00 AM, TJ will lead participants out on the official 4.167-mile POF day loop. Whether you're interested in seeing what a backyard ultra is all about, running your first Prairie On Fire this fall, or you're a returning runner ready to reconnect with the course and community, we invite you to join us.

*No Prairie On Fire registration is required to participate in the preview run.

Following the run, stay for snacks and more conversation!
