Course and logistics
The marked course is a 10-mile loop that returns to the start/finish area each lap. The 50K consists of three full loops, the 10 miler one full loop, and the 5 miler a half loop. Runners in the 50K may leave a drop bag at the start/finish area. A fully stocked aid station will be available on course.
Parking requires advance payment unless an entrant holds a year pass (not a State Park pass). Parking capacity is limited, and overall entrant numbers are limited for the event. The 50K has a cut off of 9.5 hours; the other races have no time cut offs. The canicross race is the first held at Standing Boy and uses the opposing loop to reduce trail congestion. Participants who complete this race and The Big 50 in May receive a second "185 Columbus Trail Double" medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
