Course and logistics

Both the 5K and 15K are trail runs that finish with a cave segment. The final 1.2 miles comprise an out-and-back 0.6 mile segment through the cave; runners pick up a glow stick at the turnaround and decorative lighting will be on. The 5K route begins with about 0.9 miles on gravel or paved road before entering single-track trail. Aid stations on course provide water, Gatorade, cola, pretzels, M&M's and more. The event is cupless - runners must carry a handheld bottle, pack, or reusable cup; a reusable cup can be purchased for $5 at checkout. Cutoffs are 1 hr 15 min for the 5K and 2 hr 30 min for the 15K.
