Special Dedications

🪑 The Empty Chair (Dads Chair) symbolizes those we’ve lost — a reminder that they’re always with us on the trail.

💙 Remembering Rilyn — “Rilyn’s Way”

Rilyn Nicole Hughes was a beautiful 7-year-old girl who lived just a few miles from the race course. After a courageous five-and-a-half-year battle with Neuroblastoma, Rilyn passed away surrounded by those who loved her dearly. Before she passed, we committed to honoring her by naming the final half-mile of every race: “Rilyn’s Way”.

You’ll see a sign at the ½-mile-to-go mark. Pause if you’d like. Take a photo. Draw strength from Rilyn’s spirit as you finish your race.

Final Note

The full course map will not be released in advance (same course as 2025). This is intentional. We want the experience to unfold as a true adventure.

What we can promise:

• 99%: Wooded trails
• Every trail: In Settlers Cabin Park
• An adventure: You won’t forget

Ready to conquer every trail at Settlers? We’ll see you at the start line on November 14.
