Course and logistics
The course is an open, shared dirt trail marked with cones and signs. Participants share the path with pedestrians, other runners, and equestrians and are asked to keep to the right and pass on the left. An aid station is located at the turnaround at the start/finish area and provides water cups, water bottles, Gatorade cups, and energy gels. Parking is in the large lot near the Crystal Springs Picnic Area. All finishers receive a medal and a goodie bag. Results are normally posted on the event page by the evening of race day.
