Course and rules
The course is a 4 mile Kiowa/Comanche Loop that starts at the Mack Dick Pavilion. This is a trail route and portions of the course can be quite technical. There is one aid station at the start/finish where runners may set up canopies or tents. The aid station will be stocked with water, Hyperlyte Liquid Performance drink mix, coke, ginger ale, pickle juice, gels, and an assortment of sweet and salty snacks. This is a cupless race; participants must bring their own bottle, bladder, or cup. The final lap must be completed before the race ends. There is an absolute cutoff 30 minutes before each race finish, after which no runner may begin another loop. Registration closes on March 24, 2026.
