PINEDALE – The inaugural Midnight on the Mesa trail relay race welcomed participants from across the country and proved a massive success.

The event, put on by Friends of PAC and enabled by a slew of sponsors, featured 32 four-person teams that competed from midnight until noon on June 19 in hopes of running the most laps. A total of 128 participants from 15 states came to Pinedale to compete in the event’s creation. Half of the runners were locals.

The event’s winning team, Coloratah Tigers, completed 21 laps of the 4-mile course. The course was illuminated with glow-in-the-dark markers and participants received glow-in-the-dark water bottles.

Funds raised from the event were in support of the Pinedale Aquatic Center.
