    Course Information

    Both the 10k and Half Marathon courses are challenging with steep hills and rough terrain. If you have not run in this area before please know that this course will take you much longer than a road Half Marathon or 10k. With that in mind please plan to carry a handheld water bottle and your preferred nutrition.

    Aid Stations: There will be one aid station for the 10k around mile 4. It will have water, GU Gels, Skratch and other snacks.

    The Half Marathon Course will have Aid Stations at mile 4, 6, 9.6, & 11.7

    Please make sure any trash stays at the aid station, do not drop it along the course.

    Course Markers: The course will be marked with the following: signs with directional arrows and orange ribbon. The course should be very easy to follow so long as you look for the markers.
