Course and race services

The main running course is a 10-mile loop on well-defined trails through oak hammocks and tree canopy. The 50K includes an additional starter loop. Aid stations are located at roughly five-mile intervals and provide water, sports drink, gels, and some food. Because the course is a loop, 50K and 20 Miler runners pass the main staging area during the race and can access drop bags.

Race packet pickup is available at the start/finish location the evening before the event and on the morning of the race. The start/finish area is a short distance from hotels near I-75 and State Road 50. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
