Once the field limit is reached, additional runners will go on a waiting list and be added randomly.

Course Description
This course is a fun, timed group run and may be challenging for beginners. It features approximately 300ft of elevation gain, ankle-twisting roots, and some steep, dangerous hills. Veteran trail runners will enjoy the challenge and the opportunity to gain ground in a few runnable sections. The course will be well-marked, with no risk of getting lost, and there will be a water station at the halfway point.
Spectator Information
The course is spectator-friendly. You can cheer on runners at:
- Start: At the beginning of the race
- Mile 0.50: Before they enter the woods
- Mile 0.80: Just before a series of steep hills
- Mile 2.1: For one last push to the finish line
Refreshments will be served post-run near the sign-in area, and the award ceremony will take place shortly after the conclusion of the run.
Important Notes
- Parking: The parking area is small, so we strongly encourage carpooling.
- Safety: This is a small but competitive club run, and participants are responsible for their own safety. Crystal Lake Park offers challenging trails, including some steep and potentially dangerous downhill. Even experienced trail runners should exercise caution.
