Course and logistics: Trails are primarily wood chipped with a small, well maintained grassy portion and more than 60 percent tree cover. Course distances are approximate due to trail conditions. Turns are marked with signs, 12x12 turn arrows, three foot course signs, and orange cones. One aid station on course is passed twice per lap and will provide water and sports drinks. A primary bag drop is located west of the start area with additional drop locations near the parking lot.
Participant details: Race shirts are gender specific and dry wick, guaranteed for those registered by noon on October 2; female shirts run small. Every participant receives a finisher woodle. Walkers are timed but the walk division is not competitive and has no age group awards.
Parking requires a county park day pass or annual pass purchased online before the event. Team and volunteer options are available, and the Silver Circle Foundation is the event charity partner. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
