Course Description

5 and 10 milers Follow the ORANGE flags. 5k follow the WHITE flags. Come spend a morning with us enjoying Gods creation in the tail end of the rolling foothills of the Appalachian Mountain range. Runners, Ruckers, and Hikers are all welcome! The course is a single 5 mile loop, of technical single track trail. Repeated twice for the 10 mile. The 5k route is the same, but cuts off certain portions. The start and finish is in the parking lot of the Trussville Senior Citizens Center. Roughly 90% of the route is on the trails. There are multiple switch backs, elevation, and scenery changes throughout the course. There will be two aid stations one near the halfway mark, and the other at the end/beginning of the loop. Trail shoes or hiking boots are highly recommended (depending on your pace group) because there are roots and rocks aplenty throughout. There is a cap off of 125 competitors between all 3 distances (5k, 5 mile, 10 mile).
