Check-In:
Check-in starts at 5:00 PM – Race Starts at 6:30 PM. We understand that work days can be a little hectic, if you arrive after the start of the race you will not be able to pick up your number / officially start the race, however, you are welcome to get your sticker, go out for a run on your own and join us after.

 

Can’t Make It?
If you are not going to make the race, you do not need to notify us, we will know you are not running if you do not check in.

 

Parking:
Firstly, parking is a bit limited, PLEASE TRY TO CARPOOL! There is some parking right at the Jensen Lake Trailhead, however most people will park at our overflow parking location – Chapel Hills Church 4888 Pilot Knob Road | Eagan, MN 55122, this is 1/4 Mile North of the Jensen Lake Trailhead on Pilot Knob Road – See it on the map HERE https://goo.gl/maps/tiOl8 – park at Chapel Hills and walk the bike path South on Pilot Knob to the Jensen Lake Shelter / Start-Finish Area, its easy! Please note that some spots will be held back at the Jensen Trailhead for non-race-related day users.

 

Race Numbers:
Bib number assignments will be available mid-morning on Wednesday July 5. You will find your bib number HERE https://www.estrs.com/2023-estrs-lebanon-7mi-bib-number-assignments/

 

NO Race Day Registration:
Please note that we do not offer race day registration.

 

Bring ID:
Be sure to bring your ID when you check in / pick up your race number if you care to have a beer after – you will be issued a wristband at this time – you can also bring your ID later but before is preferred.

 

PIZZA IS BACK:
Complimentary post race pizza (Domino’s) went away during Covid. Inflation and the goal of keeping ESTRS as low cost as possible ($25 per event) prevented us from bringing it back last year, but we are pleased to announce, it is back for all 2023 ESTRS events! A huge thank you to all of our sponsors and to those registrants that had a little something extra to add on to their entry fee for making it possible!

 

Chip Timing:
We will be chip-timing this race, your chip will be affixed to your race bib / number, please do not bend or fold your race number / timing chip.

 

Results:
Results will be posted live / in real time HERE https://www.athlinks.com/event/198966/results/Event/1054189/Results

 

Giveaway:
ESTRS is a low cost event so we keep the giveaway pretty simple. You can check out this years sticker HERE https://www.estrs.com/2023-sticker-giveaway/

We will have some sweatshirts, t-shirts, hats and posters for sale, cash or check preferred – Venmo and PayPal available.

About ESTRS:
Remember when you were young and the summer days were hot, relaxing and seemingly endless?  Well, as adults we still get that but usually only on weekends and holidays… until now.  The Endless Summer Trail Run Series is the brain-child of two passionate Minnesota trail-running main-stays – Rocksteady Running and Twin Cities Running Company.  The series was created to provide low-key, low-pressure trail running / racing opportunities for people of all ages, abilities and levels of experience. Whether you are a seasoned trail or road racer, first time trail-racer, need a tune-up for your next race, need to get in some speed-work or just want to have some pizza, pop and beer with us at the finish – running one or all of the races in the series is for you.  The Endless Summer Trail Run Series has garnered a strong local following and has gotten significant national media coverage as one of the best organized and most well attended trail running series in the country!
