Course and race details
The 5k follows single-track trails that meander along and across Carrick Creek from the nature center, climb toward Pinnacle Mountain, then descend in a loop back to the start/finish area. The 15k course is noted as currently closer to a 17K. It follows the 5k route for the first two miles, then climbs nearly 2,000 feet over the first five miles to the high point at Pinnacle Mountain. The descent includes views from Bald Rock and other overlooks, additional stream crossings, exposed roots and jagged rocks, and a return down the valley toward the finish. Race day registration and packet pick-up are at the Pinnacle Pavilion. Awards are given to first, second and third overall, and age group awards are listed. All runners receive shirts and finisher awards; food and cold drinks will be available at the finish. Parking instructions specify entering at the West Gate and parking at the Pinnacle Pavilion.
