Course and facilities
The course is an asphalt loop around the lake measuring 5 miles per lap. The loop is mostly flat with a few gentle hills and is run in a clockwise direction. Chip timing records each 5-mile loop and splits are provided each loop; there are permanent markers every 1/4 mile. Four aid stations are on course - one main staging-area aid station with substantial food and three smaller stations with drinks and simple food. Athletes may leave personal gear and nutrition in a secure area at the main aid station. There are four permanent restrooms near the entrance and additional portable toilets on the route. A medical doctor will be on site for non-emergency care; emergencies will be handled by calling local emergency services. The staging area is located on the dam at the west end of the lake, about one-third mile from the lake entrance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
