Course, timing and amenities
The course is a lighted 1/2 mile oval on a dirt track surfaced with finely crushed limestone; it is a horse track used for small buggies. A chip timing system records each runner’s distance and displays results at the timing tent. A large aid station on the track provides snacks, fruit, salty items, soda, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and other foods. Participants are asked to bring their own fluid containers; containers may be left at a course-side table with a name label. On-site parking is available in a large parking lot or on the grass infield. Packet pickup is at the race site building near the grandstands, where registrants receive a shirt and race bib with timing chip; shirts are guaranteed for registrations made by May 19.
