Amanda Lee, in for the race from Boulder, did a little preview run yesterday. “I have to admit that I was skeptical about the “toughest trail race in the Midwest” label, but I shouldn’t have doubted you. I just got done running at PRSP and those trails are downright HARD! ”
Pre-race instructions:
Thank you for registering for the 10th annual Ni-Bthaska-Ke Trail Runs! Here are some tips to make your morning go most grand:

We’ll have signs pointing the way once you arrive at Platte River
State Park. We encourage car pooling as there is limited parking.
You will need either a day ($5) pass or a season pass to enter the

so, head right on over to the awards table speedsters!
OTHER IMPORTANT ITEMS
1) Platte River State Park is 6 miles south of I-80 on Hwy 66. Or, 3
miles north of Louisville.

also our Hoopla & Refilling Station just prior to Owen
Crossing (the 4 mile turn off), about 2 miles into the run.
3) Please arrive early to pick up your packet! The park can get,
ahem, hectic with everyone trying to wait until the last minute.
4) If you look like you are less than 70 please bring your photo ID
if you plan on having a couple of beers on us. Our big, beefy, beer
bouncers are pussy cats as long as you are of age.
5) Please utilize a designated driver if you are a lightweight like
me. One and done? Two and through?
6) Additional Meal/Beer wrist bands will be available at packet pick
up for a mere $10
7) Sweet Swag Sale inside Mallet Lodge. Stop by and see Katie for our award winning short sleeve t-shirts (voted top 10 artwork by Runners World!) available for purchase until we run out, only $15. Tech tops for $20, hoodies for $30.

12) Big tips of the sombrero to the staff at Platte River State Park.
