Course and race-day information
The course is a combination of paved road and trail. The first and last half mile of both the 5k and the 10k are on paved roads. The trail sections have some roots and are fairly well maintained with no major elevation gains. Water stations are planned at approximately mile markers 0.5 and 2.6 on the 5k, and 0.5, 3.1 and 5.7 on the 10k; Gatorade may be available at some stations. Packet pickup is available at the event and race day registration will be offered; T-shirt sizes cannot be guaranteed for race-day registrants. Live results will be posted on Athlinks and via a race QR code, with final results and series points posted the Monday after the race. Awards are given to the top three men and women overall and to 1st and 2nd place in multiple age categories. Parking is inside Burke Lake Park near the mini golf area.
