Course details and event information
Course descriptions note mostly dirt jeep trails with short paved sections at the beginning and end. The 5K is a single loop on jeep trails and finishes behind the NBC Village. The 10K is an out-and-back route with a notable hill, and it merges with the 5K route near the finish. A published race review also describes sections near an old homestead, an old barn, and a river bottom where temperatures can be lower.
