Course

The course is two lollipop loops, with the stick in the middle. ~1/3mi flattish and smooth to the base of the incline. The incline stairs are spaced horizontally about 1.5 strides apart, making it difficult to run. At the top, ~0.5 in, go left and head out to the rest of the course. It's another ~1.4mi, of flat and rolling terrain, to the start of the loop. The loop is 2.4mi of rolling terrain; most of it is fairly smooth. There are a few technical sections. Then, return back to the top of the incline. The final 0.5mi is down a steep, smooth, dirt path (not back down the incline). The distance is very close to 10km, with about 600' of climbing.

Youth Discount

19&under, use the "Youth 19&u" category for $10-$15 off (depending on the date).

Handicap Starts

We'll use a handicap starting system, by age and gender, similar to The Dipsea (www.dipsea.org), the oldest trail race in the U.S. Starts will be spread out over ~20 minutes.

Aid Station

There will be water at the start/end of the far loop, at ~1.9mi & 4.3mi.

Kids Race

The kids will go up the incline, like the start of the 10k, then down the smooth, steep path, like the finish of the 10k. It's about 1mi. The kids race will start at 7:20. Parents/siblings/friends are welcome to accompany. All kids will get a finishing ribbon.

Awards/Post-Race

Awards for the 10k will go to the top-10 finishers across the line with the handicap starts. There will also be awards to the fastest female/male net times, and the oldest/youngest finisher. There will be light snacks at the finish.
