Welcome to Moose on the Loose!
Kids can do hard things, and have fun doing them. We believe:
-
Doing your best, pushing yourself and helping others is fun.
-
Running is fun - running on dirt is more fun.
-
Kids can do hard things.
With these driving beliefs, Moose on the Loose Kids Trail Running Series was created. Our races are designed to be achievable and enjoyable for all levels of runners, with the goal of inspiring kids to do their best, push themselves, and believe in themselves.
¡Bienvenidos a Alces sueltos!
Los niños pueden hacer cosas difíciles y divertirse haciéndolas. Creemos:
• Hacer lo mejor que puedas, esforzarte y ayudar a los demás es divertido.
• Correr es divertido; correr sobre tierra es más divertido.
• Los niños pueden hacer cosas difíciles.
Con estas creencias impulsoras, se creó la serie Moose on the Loose Kids Trail Running. Nuestras carreras están diseñadas para que sean alcanzables y divertidas para corredores de todos los niveles, con el objetivo de inspirar a los niños a dar lo mejor de sí mismos, esforzarse y creer en sí mismos.

N Round Valley Trailhead | July 13/13 de julio
This race will challenge our runners with a mix of smooth trails and more technical terrain. The Mighty Moose and the Junior Moose will utilize the fantastic Happy Gilmore and TM Trails, running 100% on the fun single track that Park City is known for. Mini Moose will run an equally challenging route on double-track to allow plenty of space for their adult running partners. Much of the routes are visible from the start/finish area.
