Organiser's Description
This started as a minimal race to kick off our new year with no medals, no awards, no EMS... just running like GOD and nature intended. However, this year, we are adding more typical race flair. All half marathon finishers will receive a finisher medal. All quarter and half marathon runners will receive a long-sleeve t-shirt! It is quite the accomplishment to complete a HALF MARATHON! The half marathon WILL BE CHIP TIMED! The course is certified and will count as an official time. The Quarter Marathon will be NAKED, meaning, no awards and hand-timed with finishing cards to fill out your time. NO AGE GROUP AWARDS for either race.
13.1 mile out and back course
Course closes at 11 a.m. Anyone on the course after this time is "on their own".
