👟 Participant Information

• Runners and Walkers: Welcome!
• Strollers and Dogs: We recommend that strollers and dogs (leash required) start at the back.

🌳 Course Details

These challenging courses are very unique: maps are soon to come! The 10K and 5k go down a taxiway around hangars back onto a taxiway, then out onto a mix of trails, dirt and paved roads. You may see wildlife as you go around several ponds.
