Course and logistics
Courses use hiking-trail terrain with natural dirt and rooty single-track trails and can feature elevation changes and unpredictable conditions. Elevation is listed as about 50 ft gain per 4-mile loop. The event notes that no disposable cups are provided, so participants should bring their own water-carrying system. A course map is provided by the organizer. Aid station food and hydration are available on course, and the event is fully marked and supported. There is a 5-hour cutoff for the event. An optional ruck division requires a minimum weight of 20 lb; ruck sacks or vests are allowed. Event gear and awards include a Run The Pines soft tee (order deadline applies), a wooden finisher medal, ruck patches, 1st place awards for each distance (male and female), and a $200 cash prize for first place in the longest distance. DFL awards are listed for the 25K. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
