The 10K course consists of the main loop completed twice; there is one staffed water stop that the 10K passes twice. Water and light snacks will be available at the finish area. Participants are encouraged to bring reusable bottles to reduce waste. The kids loop will be marked and staffed with adults at each turn. All finishers will receive a finishing prize.
