🔥LAST LONG READ🔥 Race weekend for the Molten Mohawk is officially here. Remember packet pick up is tonight at 📍Thomley's Christmas Tree Farm, 50 Hegwood Road from 4:30 - 7:30pm. We will not be ready before 4:30 pm so please do not come early.😀
We will rezoom on Saturday morning from 6:00 - 7:15 am at 📍Thomley's Christmas Tree Farm, 50 Hegwood Road

Packet pick up will close down promptly at 7:15 am Saturday. If you are later than 7:15 on Saturday morning, you will not be included in the race results as MS Timing Company will need the 15 minutes between packet pick up and race start to download all bib information into their system.

Who's ready for the MM9R race weekend? I know we are!

All of our participants received a detailed email on Tuesday morning. We do not think there are any details left to uncover but want to highlight a few race course details.
💧There will be water stops on the race course with H2O and Powerade. The 4 miler will hit 2 water stops and the 9 miler will hit 4.
🍫This is a self supporting fuel race which means we will not have nutrition on the race course. You will need to pack and carry whatever you plan to eat during your run.
🔥The temperature is going to be unusually warm on race day so please plan accordingly, hats, sunscreen, come hydrated, etc.
🥶There will be a cold plunge and sauna at the Finisher's Party so pack a towel and even a change of clothes if you so desire.
👫The food and beverages at the Finisher’s Party are for athletes only. Your family is welcome to attend but not snag the food and drinks- if they do, there will not be enough for those who ran or walked. On a side note- encourage them to pack a snack and drink of their own.

This is how we do race day at the MM9R! See you Saturday.

The Molten Mohawk Niner is for humans only. Furry friends cheer from home. Although we are dog lovers ourselves, we do not allow dogs on race day. There are multiple safety reason along with the fact that our host farm has animals of its own. But please grab a special treat for your dog on the way out on race day compliments of B & B Pet Stop Mobile, Alabama.
