Resilinator 2024: Kids and Families
We're bringing back the BOO!-silinator! Our SPOOK-tacular Resilinator is a Halloween-inspired buddy race for ages 5+ up taking place Saturday and Sunday, the weekend before Halloween. Pair up with your buddy (costumes are optional, and always welcome!) and take part in this adventure race with lots of fun tricks, and healthy treats!
Resilinator is a 2.5-mile adventure race on nature trails around Hyland Lake. The course is designed to challenge your physical strength, toughness, and teamwork as buddy pairs.
Buddy pairs are connected by a tether. Their objective is to complete the entire course without breaking their connection.

A Chance to Celebrate Resilience
Watch for volunteers wearing masks and capes whose job is to make your race a little more challenging. They may stump you with a riddle or hold you back if you drop your tether or don’t complete obstacles cleanly. It’s all in good fun to teach the life lesson of perseverance.
20 Kid-Friendly Challenges & Obstacles
Never scary, the obstacles are fun and will challenge your teamwork. Featured are balance and strength tests, bear crawls, climb-overs, games, puzzles, riddles, and a resilience test to find your matching race number required to proceed to the finish.
1 Buddy Pair Starts at a Time
We start a new pair every 20 seconds to spread out hundreds of pairs over several hours of racing. This approach allows us to have a big race without the crowding of a big event. Spreading out the racers creates a nice and easy flow from check-in to start, through the course/obstacles, all the way to the finish line and medals. You'll choose a start session at registration, and we’ll guide it from there.
Everyone's times will vary - we encourage you to experience it at a pace that will uplift and challenge you! The average time to complete the course is as follows:
- Runners: 30 to 40 Minutes
- Hikers: 40 to 60 Minutes
