9:30 am Start

Lord Hill Regional Park, Snohomish, WA

Lord Hillbilly Trail Run at Lord Hill Regional Park is the second event in the Goat Series. Goat Series events have hilly courses in local parks, and the series is a chance for goats to test their strength on the hills and compete for top honors. This series is a great opportunity to work on your fitness goals, possibly including preparing for mountain races later in the year with longer climbs.

You can expect a clearly-marked course, a well-stocked aid station with a helpful crew, good organization, and a relaxed and supportive atmosphere.

Lord Hill Regional Park is famous—or perhaps notorious—for the very steep section of the Pipeline Trail that ascends from the quarry, and the loop for this course will use that quad-punishing segment before a gentler descent back to the start/finish point. The park rises over 650 feet at sometimes sharp grades from the banks of the Snohomish River, and the routes for this event will exploit that elevation difference. The park encompasses vast forest areas, wetlands, and trails that are enjoyed by hikers, mountain bikers, equestrians, and of course, trail runners. We’ll have a tarp and tent set up for your personal gear, and aid stations to replenish on the longer distances.

We hope you’ll join us at Lord Hillbilly to develop your endurance, strength, and motivation to tackle your fitness goals or bigger routes further from home.

SERIES COMPETITION

Are you competitive?

  • Your best 2 performances in the Goat Series will rank you in the series standings!
  • If you want to do fewer events, that’s okay! Series events are open to everyone.
  • You may register for events individually, or use Series Registration to sign up for more than one event at once for your own convenience. Using Series Registration is not required to be part of the series competition.
  • If you complete any of the Goat Series events, you are automatically entered.
  • Points will be awarded separately to runners in the Female and Open categories. After receiving points for placement within the Female and Open categories, participants will then be divided into their age category for the series competition.
  • Participants in all distances in each event will be ranked together, using performance coefficients to scale all results.
  • Series points are based upon the scaled race time for each event. The average of the top three calculated (virtual) climb totals in each category (Female and Open) will be assigned 100 points, and each competitor’s points are calculated as the ratio of that competitor’s scaled time to the average scaled time of the top three in that competitor’s category multiplied by 100.
  • In the event of a tie, each runner’s highest point score is used for the tie-breaker. If two runners have identical highest point scores, then the next highest point scores are compared until the tie is broken.
  • The top series participants receive special recognition and free entry to a future trail run.
  • Awards will be presented in the following categories: Female, Open, Masters Female 40+, Masters Open 40+, Youth Female 12/under, Youth Open 12/under, Junior Female 13-19, Junior Open 13-19
