* Course info:
The course is actually a combo of road and trail.

The half marathon is an out and back loop, out 6.5543 miles and turnaround.

The first 4.2 miles are paved (and hilly!). That part ends around the scenic overlook. For the next 2.3 miles, since there is little auto traffic, it is a trail.

This trail is hard packed dirt, with no roots or potholes. It's really in very good shape.

EARLY START INFO

Here is the information going forward for all races regarding early starts:

- No early starts for 5K/10K
- A single early start time 1 hour before the actual start time for Half (& Full if applicable)
- No awards for any early starts

Also, anyone doing the early start should be trying to run a 15min mile or slower for the half or full. If they end up doing faster than 2:15 for the half they may not get a time.
