Course and logistics
The event uses an open, shared trail that is hard packed dirt (horse trail) with a brief street crossing. The start and finish are on a grass area, then the course goes across the street onto the dirt trail. Runners share the path with pedestrians, other runners, and equestrians and are asked to stay to the right and pass on the left. Route formats described by the organizer: the 5k is an out-and-back; the 10k is two 5k loops; the 15k is three 5k loops; the half marathon is three 4.36-mile loops. The turnaround is off to the side of the trail.
An aid station at the turnaround/start-finish provides water cups, water bottles, Gatorade cups, and Gu gels. Registration includes custom finisher medals, drawstring goodie bags, free photos and videos, posted results within 12-24 hours, and an assortment of snacks and samples. Transfers are allowed only by contacting the organizer; there is a no refund policy. Parking is available in the large lot near the Merry Go Round/Shane's Inspiration playground.
