⚠️ Race Guidelines

Be aware: Racers from both 5k and 10k distances will be on the course at the same time. 10k racers will have a 45 minute head start before 5k racers start. This should provide plenty of spacing between racers. Be aware of other racers.

Race distances of 5k and 10k are approximate based on trail conditions and course. Recorded distances may be below or above advertised distance.
