Course and race details

The course is on trails and is not flat; participants should expect uphill sections, hiking in spots, and some technical trail sections. Distances are approximate. The half marathon has one aid station at about 8 miles offering water and Gatorade and a cutoff related to that aid point. The overall race cutoff is six hours. There are no mile markers and no age-group awards; overall top three male and female finishers receive custom awards. The 10K explicitly welcomes walkers; the half marathon is hiker/walker friendly but subject to the six-hour cutoff. Volunteer opportunities and crew/pacer information are listed as coming soon.
