Course and logistics
The 5k uses single-track trails that run along and across Carrick Creek from the nature center, includes a short climb toward Pinnacle Mountain, then a downhill loop back to the start-finish area. The 15k follows the same route as the 5k for the first two miles, climbs nearly 2,000 feet over the first five miles to the high point at Pinnacle Mountain, then descends past Bald Rock and other overlooks with additional stream crossings, roots and rocks before returning down the valley to the finish. Race-day registration and packet pick-up are at the Pinnacle Pavilion. Parking instructions ask entrants to use the West Gate, turn left at the Country Store, drive past the start/finish, and park at the Pinnacle Pavilion. Awards, shirts and finisher awards are provided; food and cold drinks are available at the finish. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
