Course Information

The course is a loop through scenic trails featuring moderate elevation changes (100-200ft per loop). It will be well-marked, runnable, but participants should expect possible rain and mud in low-lying spots in August.

1. All runners must be in the starting corral at the sound of the bell.
2. No late starts; the race starts on the hour.
3. Non-competitors are not allowed on the course.
4. Each loop must be completed within one hour, including the final loop.
5. Water and a limited supply of prepackaged food will be available at the start/finish area.
