Logistics and course information

Both the 5MI and 5K courses are 92% trail and 8% blacktop. Courses start on grass then use the trail system. Trails may have ruts, rocks, stumps, roots, leaves, and other natural debris. Under some conditions participants might encounter mud, water hazards, or slippery or icy sections. There are two water stops on course at approximately the 1.5 mile and 3.0 mile marks. Timing uses a chip on the race bib; bibs should be worn on the front.

Pre-registration ends October 30, 2025. Entry fees vary by event and include lower student prices. Packet pick-up is available the day of the race. Parking is limited; participants must use designated lots and avoid parking on roads or in grass unless directed by a park ranger.
