Intro

Course Description

The course is a 10 mile loop consisting mostly of single track dirt, some prairies, several creek crossings, and endless rolling hills. Elevation gain per 10 mile loop is 1500 feet. Mother Nature controls the creeks; your feet may stay dry but probably not. It is not uncommon to see deer, turkey, birds, owls, and other critters. We will keep you well fed and hydrated along your journey with aid stations every 5 miles.

No assigned spots, first come/serve. Most runners use their tent as "home base". Some use their car but this is off course and requires walking to it.
Campers may have camp stoves, propane, ect but not generators ( for the courtesy of your neighbors).
