Course and logistics

Courses are marked with arrow signs and survey tape, but the organizer notes markings can be missed or blown down. All registered runners get access to RideWithGPS during the event; the app can provide audio cues and navigation from GPX files. A cupless aid station is listed (Mile 5.1 for the Half, Mile 4.5 for the 10K), so participants should plan for personal cups or bottles.

Required gear recommendations include a charged cell phone, a hydration pack or water bottle, at least 200 calories of food, a whistle, and microspikes or Yaktrax if snow is present. Parking is available at Shepard Lake, a short walk from the start and finish. Final routes may be adjusted for course conditions and changes will be communicated to participants.
