About the event

On July 19th, we’re turning the trails into a moving laboratory and a dessert bar at the same time. We’ll supply everything you need to make ice cream on the go... You choose your flavors, load them into leakproof ziplocks, stash them in your pack, and then run or hike while motion, time, and a little trail magic do the rest. It’s science. It’s slightly absurd. It’s genuinely delicious! This ridiculous event is free for 2026 Members and $10 for everyone else who wants in on the churn. It also doubles as our July Team HippoGriffin and Newbie Run, so expect a welcoming, no pressure vibe with plenty of pauses for curiosity, laughter, and taste testing. Come for the miles, stay for the ice cream, leave wondering why all runs don’t end this way. Please be sure to let us know if you have any dietary restrictions, such as dairy-free…
