Off The Rails

We are super optimistic about the future! So much so that we have started discussions for Off The Rails 2022! In a post pandemic world, events may look a little different. We want to make sure that our focus is on the things you loved about our previous events!
So we want to know... What do/did you enjoy most about Off the Rails?

Who is still with us?

It is with great sadness that we have made the decision to cancel this years event. While we know our event is still several months away, the uncertainty of the current state of affairs is having an impact on our ability to plan the best course of action for another great year. As a community based event, we rely on support from local businesses, and don't feel it's an appropriate time to ask these local businesses for sponsorship as they need to put all their resources to keeping their staff and customers healthy and safe.

While we are disappointed that we are not able to bring Off the Rails to Strathmore this year, we are hopeful that our community will get through this together so that we can move forward with the best race yet in 2021.

Stay healthy and safe friends!

Did you know March 2 is Dr. Suess Day? Do you run for fun in the hot, hot sun?

Happy Leap Day! Who's going for a run today?? We only get the chance once every 4 years we may as well take it! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

We'd like to thank everyone for their patience while we get all our ducks in a row for this years event! We've been working hard on getting the ball rolling and have some exciting Ideas in the works for this year! In the meantime, we want everyone to

📅SAVE THE DATE!!!📅
