The course covers 3.106 Miles and follows woodland paths that include paved roads, a 6-mile paved bike trail section, and a well-lit gravel road lined with tiki torches and moonlight.
All race proceeds support Patoka Lake's birds of prey educational program and the care of non-releasable wildlife ambassadors.
