Packet pick up

Packet pick up will be availble on race morning at the start area.

See you then!

ย 

Course:

We are back to the out and back course over the levee. The 5k route is very stroller friendly, the 10k is not stroller friendly due to singletrack trails and greater elevation change.

ย 


Aid Station

There will be one aid location. Runners doing the 5k will run through this aid station once, while runners doing the 10k will go through this aid station twice.

This is a cupless race, which means that runners must provide some sort of cup or bottle to drink liquids at the aid station.
