Quick question. Do kids typically attend? I have a 5 and 3 year old that enjoy camping and the youngest is excited to make smores again. Wanted to make sure the atmosphere is conducive for them to attend.

There are always kids around. The founders of Spectrum have their 4 year old at every race. We love kids. We love dogs. We typically have different yard games to keep them busy during the races, and we've seen people bring their own or toss around a football.

That said, there are adults who will be there who don't have kids and will be drinking beer. It likely won't be top of mind to filter themselves. Though we've never had any issues, and trail runners are pretty conscientious. There's plenty of room to spread out and camp away from people if you think there is a concern. Additionally, we want everyone to feel welcome, so if there is any issue, let us know. Happy to talk to anyone causing trouble.

There will be people camping both friday and saturday nights. More friday than saturday, but the long-term goal is to get more people to stick around saturday night too. Saturday is a lot of fun sitting around the campfire.

Now you've got my attention. (not about the beer mile though) I'm making plans for the Saddle half-marathon. Are there any discount codes still available? I've got two more Aggies that are interested in joining me out there.
