Course and logistics

The event uses a looped course called the "Time Warp." Each loop is 3.3 miles with about 400 feet of elevation and includes rocky, root-strewn natural trails (Hillview, Shady Creek, Red Oak, Live Oak) and three short paved sections totaling just under 0.75 miles. Loop counts and total distances listed by the organizer:

  • 5K = 1 loop (3.3 miles / 400 ft gain)
  • 10K = 2 loops (6.6 miles / 800 ft gain)
  • 27K = 5 loops (16.5 miles / 2000 ft gain)
  • 53K = 10 loops (33 miles / 4000 ft gain)

The race is chip-timed. The event is cupless; participants must carry their own hydration device or a collapsible cup. One aid station on the course offers water and electrolytes; water and electrolytes are also available at start/finish. A bag drop and larger aid station will be available for 27K and 53K near the finish.

Rules, awards and services

No dogs or strollers are allowed on course. Headphones are discouraged. EMTs and a first aid tent will be on site. Awards are given to the top three overall and top three masters (40+) by gender category; there are no age-group awards. Results and photos will be posted within seven days.
