From the organizer
The Motts 8 Miler is the fourth race in the FXBG Trail Series. Get ready for a course that keeps you on your toes from start to finish. This trail race winds and weaves through constant twists and turns, demanding focus and rewarding quick feet. The singletrack flows in and out of the trees, with direction changes that keep every mile engaging and unpredictable.
Rolling hills define the rhythm of the day — short ups and downs that challenge your pacing and test your leg strength without ever feeling overwhelming. Just when you think you’ve settled in, the course reminds you to stay honest with another punchy rise or sweeping descent.
There’s one standout climb that anchors the course — the big effort of the day. It’s steady, sustained, and designed to make you work. Conquer it, and you’ll carry that momentum through the final winding miles, where the rollers continue to keep things lively all the way to the finish.
This is a race for runners who love movement, momentum, and a trail that never lets you switch to autopilot.
