The Course

All races start and finish at the south trailhead. The first 2 miles follow the Lakeside Trail to the west end of the dam. Follow the Tashka Trail for the next 3.8 miles to the Five Oaks Loop Trail. After 3.0 miles on the Five Oaks Trail you will continue on the Tashka Trail for 4.8 miles to the North Trailhead. Turn around at the North Trailhead aid station and follow the Tashka Trail 0.2 miles to the Ridge Trail. Continue on the Ridge Trail for 1.3 miles. From here, follow the flagged course 0.435 miles back to the start / finish area. The 50K is a two loop course. (Hey, it beats 125 laps on the track)  The 25K is one loop. The 4 mile race follows the Lakeside Trail to the west end of the dam and back. (see MAP)

Cutoff

THIS IS NOT A HIKE.  Cutoff times will be enforced for your safety and to meet Lake Lurleen State Park guidelines.  Runners that miss the cutoff times at boat rescue points 1 and 3 will be transported back to the South Trailhead by boat.

 

25K runners will have it a little easier... you must arrive at the South Trailhead (without assistance) before 4:00 p.m. to receive a finisher's award.

 

50K runners will have the option to stop at the 25K finish line if they choose to do so.  Once that runner crosses the 25K finish line, their decision becomes final.
