Race details and facilities

The 5K and 10K courses use single-track trails on the hand-built Meeks Mountain trail system. Course distances are approximate and may vary from GPS readings due to terrain. The 2K walk follows gravel and dirt trails around the park bowl and is non-competitive.

Packet pickup is located at the big red barn at the front of Hurricane City Park before race day activities. The start and finish are at the shelter in the park bowl, across the train tracks; volunteers will direct participants and walkers should allow extra time to reach the bowl. Bathrooms and portable restrooms will be available. Water and sports drink aid stations will be on course and post-race refreshments will be provided. EMT and safety personnel will be on call. Awards for 1st to 3rd place male and female are offered in standard age divisions. Registrants receive a shirt if registered by November 1, 2025. Fees vary by event.
