🏞️ Course Information

Both the 10k and Half Marathon courses are challenging with steep hills and rough terrain. If you have not run in this area before please know that this course will take you much longer than a road Half Marathon or 10k. With that in mind please plan to carry a handheld water bottle and your preferred nutrition.

• Aid Stations: There will be one aid station for the 10k around mile 4. It will have water, GU Gels, Skratch, and other snacks. The Half Marathon Course will have Aid Stations at mile 4, 6, 9.6, & 11.7.
• Leave No Trace: Please make sure any trash stays at the aid station, do not drop it along the course.
• Course Markers: The course will be marked with signs with directional arrows and orange ribbon.
• Weather Forecast: Stay informed about the weather as it may affect race day.

🏅 Awards

Both Half Marathon and 10k Finishers will receive a Finishers medal. The Half Marathon & 10k will have awards for Top 3 Overall Male & Female finishers and go 3 deep in 10yr Age Groups for men and women.
