RACE RULES
The Enchanted Forest is a nature sanctuary and the health and safety of our wildlife populations is a priority concern.
We ask that race participants abide by the following rules:

- NO PETS ARE ALLOWED IN THE ENCHANTED FOREST. This is by county ordinance.
- Littering is strictly prohibited. In addition to the permanent trash cans in the Enchanted Forest, there will be trash cans at both aid stations.
- Stay on designated trails at all times.
- Runners must yield to wildlife.
- Harassing or harming wildlife will not be tolerated.

RACE AND COURSE DETAILS
The Kids Fun Run starts at 7:15 a.m.
The 5K & 3K runs starts at 8:00 a.m.
The 5K run/hike starts at 8:10 a.m.

The Kids Fun Run is approximately .25 of a mile.
A mandatory pre-race meeting will take place at the start line at 7:45 a.m. for both the 5K run and 3K run/hike.
The 5K run/hike will consist of one loop of the course.

The course is beautiful but challenging. The trails were created with hikers and group tours in mind, so they are wide and well-maintained.
The outermost reaches of the trail along the Magnolia Loop are more technical, with roots and other hazards, but most of the course consists of beginner-level trails. While there are a handful of hills, the elevation changes are minimal.

AID STATIONS
There will be one water station on the course and one post-race refreshment table at the finish line.
The on-course water station will be at the junction of the Mesic Trail and Magnolia Loop, approximately 1.5 miles into the course.
5k runners will pass the water station twice and 10k runners will pass it four times.
The finish line post-race refreshment table will have a variety of options.
