Course

The course will be marked with ribbon approximately every 100 meters and color coded as follows:

10 Km - White

20 Km - Blue and/or Pink

30 Km - Pink

50 Km - Pink

There will be at least two blue-striped ribbons before a turn in the course. The blue-striped ribbons will be placed before and on the same side as the required turn. After you complete the turn, there will be white, blue, green, and/or pink ribbons indicating the correct route.

If you don't see your respective ribbon for 2 minutes, you are off course. One of the few rules of trail running is that, if you get off course, you must retrace your path until you find where you left the course and then continue along the marked course. Failure to follow this rule may result in disqualification even though you may have traveled a greater distance than the official course.

No dogs allowed on the course.

Please click Revised Course Map for a topographical map. Course maps will also be available at runner check-in on Saturday morning. The 50 Km runners will do both 20 Km and 30 Km lollipop loops - you choose the order.

Revised Elevation Gain:

10 Km - 1,810 ft.
