RACE START TIME: 7 p.m.
PARKING: Possum Creek Metropark Reservable Shelter area. Start at Sycamore Shelter (4730 Frytown Road Dayton, Ohio). Please use Parking lots. NO PARKING ON THE GRASS. Parking is limited, please carpool if possible. Additional parking will be available in the main park at the Pond Parking lot with a 1/2 mile walk to the start/finish line.
COURSE: You will be running on various terrain surfaces (dirt, gravel, meadow, grass) with no water crossings. This is a great introduction to trail running with a very low elevation gain/loss. Trail shoes are not necessary.
REGISTRATION: Registration is available to all through RunSignup prior to the race. Online registration remains open until approximately 15 minutes before race start and can be done in-person at the race. Hard copy registration sheets are also available on race day if needed. Minors may be registered on RunSignup by a parent or guardian or in-person with a parent or guardian present to sign the waiver.
CHECK-IN: All participants must check-in before the race and attach their assigned timing chip to one of their shoes. Look for the table with the green tablecloth to get your chip.
We recommend you arrive at least one hour before the race to park, check in, and warm-up prior to the race start.
