Course, awards, logistics and charity
The course starts and finishes at Eckert's Orchards and is an out-and-back route through the orchard and farm. The surface mixes paved paths and sections of grass or cross-country style running. Age group awards are offered in ten-year categories for top finishers male and female; award winners must pick up their awards at the registration table on event day as awards will not be shipped. Packet pickup is tentatively scheduled for October 31 at the Cider Shed; race day pickup is also available. A virtual participation option is available and packets can be shipped for an additional $10 shipping and handling charge. The event’s local charity partner is Operation Food Search, a hunger relief organization that serves individuals through a network of community partners in Missouri and Illinois.
