Race Description
THE COURSE
The course runs through single track, rolling hills that will challenge and help you. The course is set up as a PR trail race. All races will start together. We will start in the ball field and run around the pond to allow runners to spread out before they hit the single track.
The course is a 5 mile loop. There is one major aid station at the start/finish line. We will have homemade goodies as well as typical ultra food: cookies, PB & J, Sportsdrink, soda, chips, pretzels.
We are working towards making this race "landfill free" so please bring your own water bottle.
8 hours to complete the race!
