Course Description
- 10K loop – Run (or walk) the loop 1 -3 times (10K, 20K, 30K)
- Due to the nature of the run, all distances are approximate
With trails, there is always a chance of last-minute route/distance
changes - 100% Trail – No Paved Roads!
- Roughly, the first and last two miles of the course are run through fields and are pretty fast (for trails), while the middle two miles are more single-track, winding, hilly, and technical (nothing too crazy though)
- This is not a closed course. You may come across bikers, hikers, and horseback riders. Please be courteous and share the trails.
- 3 Aid-stations: At start/finish and appx. miles 1.75 and 4.5.
- Aid stations will have water and electrolyte drink.
- The aid stations at 1.75 may be unmanned for laps 2 and 3.
- This is a “cupless” event – you must bring your own handheld, camel back, etc.
- There may be some food (e.g. fruit, cookies, candy) at the start/finish aid station.
Race Cutoffs
- You must start your final lap (for whatever distance) by 11:00 AM.
- 30K cutoff: 5 hours to finish (1:00 PM).
