ALL COURSES:
We will offer a 5k, 10k, and 25k course for this event. Race distances are approximate and may very a half mile depending on actual trail availability on race day. Courses are subject to change based on safety and trail conditions. Due to the mountain nature of this event, there are very limited toilets available on course. Please use the restroom before your start.
