Course, cutoffs and other details

The 25K has three aid stations (one visited twice) and a cutoff of 4 hours 45 minutes. The course includes about 6.5 miles of trail that can be technical with roots and rocks, plus about 9.6 miles of forest service and improved dirt roads. All finishers who complete their event within the official cutoff will receive a finisher’s premium. A series of semi-organized training runs is planned in September and October, and one training run is scheduled for September 28 meeting at the finish line. Volunteers are needed to staff four of the aid stations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
