The Rumble is is a fun, low-key event utilizing the Peterson Ridge and Metolius-Windigo multi-use trails near Sisters, OR. Bring a great sense of adventure and you’ll enjoy it! There are three distances to choose from: 40 miles, marathon (27.8 miles – hey, it’s a trail marathon, so what’s an extra 1.6 miles???), and 20 miles. All races start and finish at Sisters Middle School.
The Rumble is a fundraiser for the Sisters High School Cross Country team. Many of the volunteers are cross country team members. The Rumble also make a generous annual donation to Sisters Trails Alliance, who builds the beautiful Rumble trails that wouldn’t exist without them. You can make a donation to either of these great organizations as part of your registration.
The total number of entrants allowed in the Rumble will be 500, all distances combined.
Event Schedule:
40-mi starts at 7 a.m. (No Early Start)
Trail Marathon starts at 8 a.m.
20-mi starts at 9 a.m.
Awards
Top 3 overall female and male, top masters female and male (45-59), and top veteran female and male (60+) in all races will receive some cool schwag. Also, the top dogs in all of the races will receive a bag of doggy goodness!
All finishers will receive a super cool pair of stylin’ Rumble finisher’s socks. Yes, this is the sock that started the whole finisher-sock craze! Some of you may wonder, why socks instead of shirts? Well, I figure that most runners have lots and lots (and lots and lots…) of race shirts, many of which never get worn. I also figure that most runners go through socks pretty quickly. So I thought it would be fun to award something that runners wear-out fairly quickly, not something that runners tend to already have too many of. Plus, the socks are really cool (partially because they have the cool Rumble logo – a likeness of Sascha, my Siberian husky who helped create the Rumble and design the course – that was designed way back in 2003 by Bronco Billy).
