Q: What? “Yeti Set Go!” — Twilight Trail Series?
A: This is Night Trail Running 101.
The “Yeti Set Go” Twilight Trail Series is a family adventure in the woods. Every race is a green event. Each participant will be encouraged to use a headlamp and carry their own water bottle. The runs will begin at dusk. Up to 1,000 participants will follow a trail of glow sticks thru single track trails in 2 of Ohio’s most beautiful parks. The late summer race will be 10K, the early fall race will be 15K.
One more thing, the Yeti. He’s here in Ohio. He’s been seen at both parks, he’s always spotted at dusk and he loves a good race. Maybe you will catch the Yeti, maybe he will catch you...that’s the fun part.
The “Yeti Set Go” Twilight Trail Series will also feature
a 1 mile trail run for kids.
The “Yeti Set Go” Objectives:
1. Encourage Health and Fitness.
2. Keep it Green.
3. Proper Nutrition and Wellness.
4. Promote our Region’s Parks/Green Space
and Communities.
5. Have fun in the woods/don’t be afraid of the dark.
Why it is Called “Yeti Set Go!”
It is called “Yeti Set Go” because it sounds cool. The Yeti is said to be an ape-like cryptid taller than an average human, similar to Bigfoot, that inhabits the Himalayan region of Nepal, and Tibet. The scientific community generally regards the Yeti as a legend, given the lack of conclusive evidence, but it remains one of the most famous creatures of cryptozoology. The Yeti may be considered a sort of parallel myth to the Bigfoot of North America. So, we use Yeti because “Bigfoot, Set, Go!” just doesn’t hack it.
