NNormal & Earthbound: PEAK FREAKS 14MAR

Join NNormal & Earthbound for the Mission Trails 5-Peak Challenge, group run, and giveaways.

Calling all Peak Freaks! Whether it's your 100th or your 1st time out at Mission Trails, we’re here to help you take on some of San Diego’s most iconic trail systems including the infamous 5-Peak Challenge: a summit of all five peaks throughout Mission Trails Regional Park. All five peaks not on your agenda? No problem, join us for a guided group run at 9:30am. Following the group run, we’ll have snacks and drinks just in time to welcome runners finishing up the 5-Peak Challenge, with a raffle/giveaways and awards to follow. Come run on dirt with us, hang out, and enjoy a morning of trail camaraderie. PLUS be one of the first to try NNormal's new shoe built for trail comfort and versatility: the Cadi.

Importantly, we'll have five different Mission Peaks Strava segments up and prizes for:
(1) 5-Peak Segment Finishers
(2) 5-Peak Segment Fastest Time

As well as giveaways for those attending our group run/hang after. Make sure to grab a ticket and be present to claim in-person.

See you out there!
