Course, services and logistics

The 5k is an out-and-back on a technical trail. The 10k follows the same trail section then continues on paved road for the second half. The half is an out-and-back done twice, turning around just past the 10k turnaround. The half marathon has a completion time limit of 3:15. Back of the Pack is listed as 13:00 (5k/10k) and 14:00 (half); this is a series classification, not a cutoff. Water stations: 13 along the half, 5 along the 10k, and 1 on the 5k, with Gatorade at some stations. Runners receive a finisher’s medal, a technical (Dri-fit) event shirt, and chip timing. Live results will be posted and a QR code will be available on race day. Awards are given to top 3 overall and to age-group placings. Packet pickup and race day registration are available at the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
