Arrive early to avoid lines at check-in and/or bathrooms. We do start our races on time. REMINDER: Bibs are not transferable.
Trail Etiquette
The course was specifically designed to enable first-time trail runners and veterans to run side by side or individually and be challenged. We are competitive but not at the expense of enjoying each other’s company, embracing nature, or taking ourselves too seriously. Please be aware of other trail users and landowners, be polite, chat and just enjoy the beautiful trail system on which you will be running.
Train Times: A portion of the race goes over train tracks. Please be aware that the train times for Saturday are as follows: 9:26A, 10:15A, 11:26A, 12:15P.
