Course and logistics
The course is approximately 3.6 miles and begins with a short loop near the pavilion before entering the woods. The route is a rolling trail that passes by an old railroad trestle and follows part of an old pioneer road. The course returns to the pavilion area and finishes at the soccer field. The race uses MyLaps disposable bib tags for chip timing; the chip is on the bib and does not need to be returned. Registration includes a bib number, timing chip, well-marked course, a fluid station, and refreshments. Age-graded awards will be given and there will be a random prize drawing; winners must be present to receive some prizes. Dirt Days tech shirts are available for purchase for $20 at registration or at the Fleet Feet tent. Check-in on race day is available at the venue; there is no early packet pick up.
