Our start line will begin a short 1/4-1/2 walk from the parking area adjacent to Wren Lake. This allows us to finish out of the path of the departing trolleys (who wants a trolley going through the finish line?) and to finish below the pavilion rather than in a dark parking lot. Please head that direction at an appropriate time.
LIGHTS: There are a lot of moving parts to this race and your safety is priority. Although we will be leaving ahead of the Callaway Garden Trolleys, they and cars may be on the course for the last few miles. Their speed will be very slow, HOWEVER, it is IMPERATIVE that they are able to see you. It is MANDATORY for you to have some sort of light/glow stick/vest/flashlight/etc on that will make you visible to other runners and traffic. We also suggest that you bring a flashlight with you for the last mile of the course as it will be fairly dark. We will have the path lit for directional purposes. This is not optional.
