Course and logistics
The courses use a pea gravel trail. Course layouts are out-and-back loops with short loop lengths:
- 5K/10K loop: 0.78 miles per loop (out-and-back 1.56 miles); the 5K completes the out-and-back twice and the 10K four times.
- Half Marathon loop: 1.09 miles per loop (out-and-back 3.18 miles); the half marathon completes the out-and-back six times.
A course time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes is stated. The organizer notes that GPS may direct participants to a small building on Old S. 4th Street; in that case, go south on Old S. 4th Street and turn right into the parking lot - the park is just behind the Gadsden Mall. The event listing also references finisher medals, a shirt and gear shop, a best costume feature, series points, awards, and a FAQ and contact form provided by the organizer.
