Course and logistics
The courses are run on a pea gravel trail behind the Gadsden Mall. The 5K and 10K use the same out-and-back loop; the organizer describes the loop as an out-and-back repeated twice for the 5K and four times for the 10K. The half marathon uses an out-and-back loop that the organizer states is repeated six times.
The organizer notes that some GPS devices may direct drivers to a small building on Old S 4th Street; attendees should follow local parking signage to find the park parking lot. The event offers finisher medals, and the organizer provides shirt and gear options, costume recognition, series points, awards, and a FAQ resource for participants.
