Join us for the sixth Annual Caveman Fun Run!
Saturday, May 9th, 2025: Flying V Trails
Newcastle, WY
5K, 10K, and 20K Trail races!
And…this year…we have added a 20K mountain bike race!
Register below today!
And we offer free registration for 16 and under for all distances!
The Bent Sprockets club would like to invite you to Newcastle, Wyoming, to the Flying V trails for a fun trail race in memory of Bill Kohlbrand. Bill enjoyed being outside, whether cruising a timber sale, riding his mountain bike, or spending time outside with family or friends. He also had a vision to build local trails for generations to enjoy, including both the Serenity Trails as well as the Flying V Trail system. Bent Sprockets has picked up and continued his vision by maintaining and expanding the local trails.
The Flying V trail system is the perfect place to honor Bill’s vision and enjoy a day on the trails. While our main goal was to get people outside and show off our wonderful trails, any proceeds from the race will help continue trail work and improve local access to our natural areas.
