Course and logistics
The course is roughly half park road and half improved trail. The 10K is two loops of the 5K, the 15K is three loops, and the 20K is four loops. The route includes two water stops (one self-serve), a pavilion area, and flagging, signs, and volunteers for direction. The course is not completely closed to traffic, so participants should watch for vehicles.
Climbing the tower is optional. Runners who climb the tower after finishing will receive a finisher's medal at the top; a signed waiver is required before climbing and the waiver is valid for the day. Awards are given to the first three males and first three females in each division. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
