Our 2nd year of Pioneer Handcart Races has been fantastic so far! Teams of two race through sand, dirt and obstacles with a handcart similar to Utah pioneers.
Daily winners in each category will receive cash prizes and t-shirts. You can also run 4 Fun.
We want everyone to come out and try the Pioneer Handcart Races this year. If you don't want to run competitively it is competely free to just come run or walk the track. We had tons of families out there just getting a small taste of the Pioneer experience yesterday!!!
Check out how tough this kid is! He carried a 50 pound sandbag the length of half the arena!!!!
