Then celebrate together at the Lucky Bucket After Party. (There will be a cost of $5 for non-racers for admission the Lucky Bucket After Party.)
THE COURSE

FEEL THE BURN. TASTE THE DIRT.
This is not your everyday, average old 7K. This is a twisting, turning, rugged trail of challenges that will have you bragging to your friends for weeks to come. The Lucky Bucket 7K Trail Run utilizes the natural terrain of Eugene T. Mahoney State Park. This rugged trail run has rocks, tons of dirt, gravel, hills, and wildlife. Be sure to leave your pretty racing flats behind, and come for the challenge of having some dirty fun!
People of all ages, shapes, sizes, and athletic ability have successfully completed the Lucky Bucket 7K Trail Run. You can too! We work hard to make the trail both fun and challenging. A staggered start time, based on estimated run times, will help you have a successful race.
AFTER PARTY

After defeating the race course, reward yourself with some frosty beers and awesome music at the Lucky Bucket After Party. We are bringing the brewery to Mahoney State Park.

Enjoy our Pre-Prohibition Style Lager, Heartland Wheat, IPA, Certified Evil, and our Summer Seasonal on tap. Two drink tickets comes included, but bring extra cash to purchase additional beer and food from our vendor. There will be a live DJ blasting music to keep the good times rolling into the late hours of the night. There will be lawn games to available to play and plenty of space to have fun!
