The Half Marathon is an out-and-back course that begins near 4,200 ft elevation and climbs to about 5,100 ft. Surfaces include paved sections and roughly six miles of maintained dirt road. Aid stations are located near the Grange (around mile 3 and mile 10) and at the Hurricane Creek Trailhead (about mile 6.5). The shorter races follow the opening portion of the half marathon route.
Registration pricing varies by date with early-bird, regular, and late fees; there is a registration closing date in mid-May. Pre-registered half marathon entrants receive a tri-blend Bella Canvas unisex shirt; shirt purchase is optional for 5 Mile and 5K entrants. Packet pickup is available the day before at Quickhatch in Joseph and on race morning at the park. Every participant receives a finisher medal and overall awards are given to the top three male and female finishers in the Half, 5 Mile, and 5K. Weather can be variable, so runners should be prepared for rain, wind, sun, or snow. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
