ALL RACES START AND FINISH IN THE SAME PLACE - NO SHUTTLE NEEDED!
DOGS - We love when we can allow dogs to be a part of our event but unfortunately cannot allow them for this one due to runners going in both directions on the course.
Course Overview
The course is a 7.75-mile point-to-point trail youll run in both directions to complete a full 15.5-mile loop. This clever design gives runners the chance to experience a variety of trails in Settlers Cabin Park, with a route that feels completely different in reverse. The course is 99% trail and absolutely stunning. START/FINISH AND THE AID STATION AT MILE 7.5 ARE WITHIN 100 YARDS APART OF EACH OTHER. ALL RACES START AND FINISH AT THE SAME SPOT SO NO SHUTTLE IS NEEDED.
25K runners complete one loop (out and back).
50K runners complete two loops (out and back twice).
Aid stations are located at the start/finish (Gilbert Love Shelter) and the turnaround point (Algonquin Shelter), which are just 100 yards apartperfect for spectators!
Elevation gain (50K): ~3,300 ft climb / ~3,100 ft descent

Special Dedication: The Harry J. Shipley Memorial Run
This race is dedicated to (race director) Chad's father, Harry J. Shipley, whose birthday is on Monday, November 17th. The event honors his spirit of curiosity, adventure, and appreciation for the roads less traveled.
My dad loved old country roads. Every time he saw one, hed wonder where it led and often followed it. I did the same while mapping out all the trails in Settlerschasing every trail, connecting every dot. Its the Last Trail Standing, and the only way to conquer it is to join the race.
Chad Shipley
