The course is a 5 km counterclockwise loop on forested rolling dirt paths with wooden bridges and exposed paved sections. The loop features about 138 feet of elevation gain per circuit. Two street crossings occur at Mile 0.23 (Jericho Road) and Mile 2.17 (Kayak Lane and Jericho Road) and will be monitored by volunteers. The course is in a public park, so non-race users may be present. A GPX file and the official park map include aid station, water stop, and restroom locations.
This is a low-key, manually timed event. Volunteers will count laps; runners must complete full loops for laps to count and should confirm their bib number and lap total with the lap counters. Partial loops do not count toward scoring. The 5-km finish time is recorded manually.
Rucking is permitted in the 10-, 5-, and 2-hour events with required loads of 30 lbs for participants 150 lbs or more and 20 lbs for those under 150 lbs; exceptions may be made on request. The event is cup-less: all participants are required to carry their own hydration. Aid stations provide water, sports drinks and a variety of food items such as chips, fruit, sandwiches, cereal bars, grilled items and freeze pops.
Awards are given to the top three women and men in each event, and all finishers receive a homemade finisher's medal. Teams of up to six members may be formed across events and the team with the most combined miles will be recognized. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
