The 25K follows the 5 Mile course for the first five miles, then continues with a roughly 10-mile loop featuring elevation changes, single and double track, and rocky sections; there is an aid station around mile 10. All finishers receive a medal. Top three male and female finishers in each race receive custom trophies, and first place male and female in each age group receive custom awards.
