None of this is possible without the people who open their gates and land for us. 

To every landowner and venue who allowed the Harties Trail Experience to use their land throughout the 2026 series and this past weekend - thank you. 

The passage to these trails exists because of you. The views our runners get to experience, the mountains they get to climb, the finish lines they get to cross - all of it happens on land that people have generously shared with us for each event.

Thank you for being part of the Harties Trail Experience.
