COURSE
All 3 races begin and end at the upper parking lot at Pandapas Pond. The course is primarily single-track trails and limited sections of forest fire roads. All races will cross creeks and navigate challenging terrain including climbs, descents, and technical terrain. The trails are in the scenic Jefferson National Forest and are well-maintained by the Poverty Creek Trails Coalition. The 5K route does not include an aid station. The 7 mile route has an aid station at 2.5 miles. The 12 mile route has aid stations at 2.5, 4.5, 5.8, and 9 miles. PLEASE NOTE the change to the 7 and 12 mile routes from previous years -- they both use the Running Cedar trail instead of the upper fire road.
