🗻 RISE UP HERO – Trail Run at Settlers Cabin Park 🗻
Be the Hero You Were Born to Be.
Every race we create has meaning.
Every mile tells a story.
Trail running is different. It strips things down. It gets quiet. It asks questions. And it gives you space to feel, explore, and discover parts of yourself you may have forgotten—or haven’t met yet.
Rise Up Hero is built on a simple but powerful belief:
👉 There is a hero version inside every one of us.
And the only way to find that person… is by doing hard things.
Across endurance sports, you’ll find incredible stories—people rebuilding after addiction, navigating divorce or life-altering separations, climbing out of financial rock bottoms, healing from trauma, or simply searching for purpose again. Running becomes the proving ground. The place where strength is rediscovered and identity is rebuilt.
Whether you were born to run and you’re coming to chase our coveted Axe,
or you’re heading into the woods to figure out who you are and what you’re made of—
Rise Up Hero is your run.
🏃♂️ Distances: 5K • 8 Miler • 25K • 50K
🥾 Hikers welcome in the 5K & 8 Mile
📍 Settlers Cabin Park
📅 Saturday, May 23rd
This isn’t just a race.
It’s a reminder of who you are—and who you’re becoming.
A few reasons our runners love this race:
Rise up. Step into the work.
Become the hero you were born to be. 💚🪓
🦸♂️ Be Their Hero Bracelet
Every participant receives a Be Their Hero bracelet — a powerful reminder that someone is watching you. Your kids. Your partner. Your parents. Your coworkers. Your friends. You don’t just run for yourself… you run to show them what’s possible.
💛 Rilyn’s Way
Along the course, you’ll pass Rilyn’s Way — a meaningful tribute and reminder to slow down, reflect, and remember what truly matters. It’s a space that represents love, courage, and living fully for the people who mean the most to us. Many runners say it becomes one of the most powerful moments of the entire race.
👕 Runner-Favorite Shirts
Our shirts are the ones people actually wear — soft, athletic fit, and designed with purpose. Not the “bottom drawer” race tee. These become trail staples and everyday reminders of the hero you chose to be.
🏅 Custom Finisher Medals
Earn it. Every distance. Every mile. Every climb. A medal that represents grit, growth, and the version of you that chose courage over comfort.
🥇 Age Group Awards
We celebrate effort at every level. Top finishers in each age group will be recognized — because showing up and pushing your limits deserves to be honored, whether you’re chasing a podium or chasing personal growth.
📣 Great for Spectators
With our unique course design, family and friends have multiple easy viewing points — especially for the 25K and 50K distances. Your crew won’t just see you at the finish… they’ll be able to cheer you on throughout your journey. And trust us — hearing your name mid-race hits different.
🌲 Well-Marked Trail Course
Confidence in the woods. Our course is clearly marked so you can focus on effort, not direction. Just run, climb, dig deep, and discover what you’re made of.
🍌 Awesome Aid Stations
Fully stocked. High energy. Smiling volunteers who want to see you win. Fuel up, reset, and get back after it.
🔥 Established Ultra — With Options for Everyone
Chase the coveted Axe in the ultra distances… or step into your first big challenge with our 5K or 8 Mile (hikers welcome!). Same powerful atmosphere. Same meaningful experience. Different levels of hero.
⏳ Always Sells Out
This isn’t just another race on the calendar. It’s an experience people come back for year after year. When spots open, they go fast.
