oin us at Proud Lake State Recreation Area in April for the annual Carpe Diem – Carpe Noctem trail race! These trails are well-groomed and marked perfectly for a day and night trail event. We offer a half marathon and 10K option in the morning and evening. The morning race will be completely in daylight and the evening option will start before dark, but many people will finish after the sun has gone down. If you double and complete both day and evening events, your two medals will connect to make one ultimate medal!
