Course, categories, and policies

The course uses woodsy single-track trails with winding switchbacks and multiple views of lakes and ponds. Trails are organized into two sides - one about a 2-mile loop and the other a 4+ mile loop. The 10K is one full loop; the Half is two laps. The course is described as not flat and not fast; there are cut-off requirements at the halfway point and at the finish line.

Entrants may register as Male, Female, or Non-Binary; pronoun declaration is available during registration. Every participant receives a custom finisher award. Podium awards are given to the top three male and top three female finishers at each distance; there are no additional podium awards in the non-binary category at this time.

Special provisions include youth pricing for runners 19 and under ($20 for the 10K, $30 for the Half, $20 for the Half relay) and a limited number of free youth entries available by request. The event partners with the Trail Mix Fund to waive registration fees for eligible runners. Participants who become pregnant after registering or who are recent new parents may defer their entry for up to two years. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
