Registration opens September 1, 2026. Race-day mobile registration is available until the race starts. The first 100 participants receive custom race socks. Registration includes park entry, a race bib, chip timing with live tracking and results, a finisher medal, event giveaways, a race sticker, a Wildly Charged hydration sample, and complimentary race photos.
Course and aid The half marathon uses a 6.5 mile loop with about 650 feet of rolling elevation per lap and mostly shaded singletrack. Directional arrows mark the course. One main aid station is located at the main shelter each loop and offers water, Coke, ginger ale, pickles, cookies, chips, candy, fig newtons, and pretzels. Runners should bring a personal hydration vessel because the event is cup-less.
Logistics and rules Dogs are allowed on course. Headphones are permitted. There is a four hour time limit to complete the race. Packet pickup is at Pleasant Ridge County Park near the main shelter and must be collected by the participant. Parking requires a $5 Special Use Permit paid during registration. Restrooms are available at the start finish area. There is no formal gear check but participants will have access to their cars within about 100 meters of the start finish lines.
