Course and on-course features
The 10k course includes a steady uphill climb to a summit at about the 3 mile mark, a one-mile ridge, and a winding descent down the east side of a mesa, then a flat straight-away. The route returns to the park in a clockwise loop. The half marathon follows the same challenges as the 10k and extends to 13.1 miles.
Three themed on-course challenges are part of the event: an optional 5 oz Egg Nog Chug at the summit (10k and half), hay bales on the straight-away for a hop challenge (5k, 10k, half), and a "Fill Your Pie Hole" pumpkin pie stop about 1 km from the finish for all participants.
Extras and charity
All 2025 participants receive a heavy-weight, brown performance hooded sweatshirt (adult unisex sizing). Half marathon finishers receive a finisher mug. The event runs a race day food drive and collects donations that go to Community Table. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
