Course Details

• Inclusivity: This is a race for everyone. Walkers welcome in the 10k.
• No Pets: Sorry, no dogs at this race as we go by lots of livestock and livestock guardian dogs.
• Terrain: Both courses are on gravel with a few paved sections and minimal elevation gain, though expect 1 or 2 big hills.
• Smooth Sailing: After the hills, enjoy smooth sailing on the course!

Stroller Information

• Stroller Accessibility: Strollers are welcome, but require some serious grit due to course terrain.
• Course Challenges: There is a short steep hill on the 10k course in the first mile and a longer hill in the first mile of the half.
• Finish Line: Both races finish with a steep downhill trail – strollers have 100% gone down this, but do so at your own risk.
• Start/Finish Logistics: A turn on the 10k course will bring you back to the start so you can finish at your car and drive to the proper finish for post-race fun.

Important Notice

• Stroller Policy: We cannot accommodate strollers and/or car seats on the shuttles.
