The TNT (Tunnels “N” Trestles) Trail Run will be held on the Hiawatha trail located adjacent to I-90 at the Idaho/Montana state line, 12 mile east of historic Wallace, Idaho. Winding through 10 tunnels and 7 high trestles, this 28.2 mile out and back route crosses the rugged Bitterroot Mountains between Idaho and Montana. The route of the Hiawatha is best known for the long, dark St. Paul Pass, or Taft tunnel, which burrows for 1.66 miles under the Idaho /Montana state line. Athletes can register at Active.com under the heading TNT Hiawatha Trail Run or at either Precision Fitness locations in Coeur D’Alene and Hayden. Registration forms will also be available at Fleet Feet Coeur D’Alene. Registration for this event will be $85.00. Athletes will be provided full race support throughout the event with finishers receiving a finisher’s medal and a finisher’s wool athletic shirt. In addition to the solo runners and walkers athletes can participate in a 4 person relay, registration for the relay is $120.00 for the four person team. The path is made up of crushed granite also know and decomposed granite. The trail is fairly flat side to side and about 8 feet in width. The event begins at an elevation of 4147 feet, descending to 3180 feet, a descent of 967 feet over one leg of the course. At this point athletes will turn around and ascend 1000 feet to the finish atop the trail. This 28.2 mile walk/run will boast spectacular views over the entire course. This is one race that will be unlike any other.
