Course and logistics

Course routes are estimated distances and are set on race day; the layout changes each year due to trail conditions. The Long Course includes one basic aid station located around the 5-6 mile mark; runners are expected to carry their own hydration and nutrition needs. Packet pickup is available the day before at Medved Running & Walking Outfitters (3400 Monroe Avenue) and on race morning for those unable to pick up earlier. There is no day-of race registration. Indoor bathrooms are available at the venue but open shortly before the event, and a long line is likely given the field size. Shirt-size exchanges are possible with leftover shirts on race day. Dogs are not permitted on the course due to park rules and insurance limitations. A post-race barbecue will be served; participants are advised to bring a lawn chair or blanket.
