The course officially closes at 1:00 PM. Participants finishing after this time will not receive a finisher award and will continue at their own risk. To earn your finisher award, be sure to cross the line before then—after that, you’re welcome to continue, but support will be limited.
The 7.45-mile course is 95% trail, and heads east out of the park before turning into the woods, where the adventure really begins. You will climb and descend steep hills, cross creeks and bridges, and if you are lucky, see some deer and other wildlife. This is a scenic and challenging run.
Due to the weather and time of year there are no aid stations on this course, so pack your race day essentials accordingly.
Please note: Camping is not available at Kickapoo State Recreation Area during this time of year. Plan accordingly and explore nearby lodging options if you’re staying overnight!
