What we dont provide we make up for in easy logistics and friendliness. Convenient parkingpass your car every lap. If youre still interested, heres what to expect.

You WILL GET: low entry fees, courses that are guaranteed not short, a simple finishers medal, basic support (see below), and a VERY generous time limit.

START/FINISH AND AID STATION: The start and finish are in a small pavilion, where you may leave a drop bag. This is also the aid station, which you will pass twice each lap. (More about laps below.) We will provide water, Gatorade, Coke, Diet Mountain Dew, and light sweet and salty snacks, including pickles and olives.

The 5K/10K courses is approximately 1.55 miles, 2 and 4 loops respectively. Turn arounds will be clearly marked. The trail is popular with local residents, so be prepared to share. For more information about the courses, see DETAILED COURSE DESCRIPTION above.

FINISH: When you are finished, ring the bell at the timing table and let the timer know you're finished. That's the only way to get an accurate time. Remember we are hand-timed.
