Basics
A Bard once said...
We have had an 11 miler here before. This year is quite different however... instead of 2 5.5 mile loops, you will run 1 road/gravel/asphalt trail loop which is the entrance to the labyrinth. If you've run these trails before you know what I mean... if you haven't, come on down! You are in for a treat and fun. The 2nd loop is the trail. The 3rd will be your first loop in reverse... these are totally fun loops and each unique, you're going to love it, I guarantee it!
Check out a couple of videos at the bottom of this page. This race changes drastically every year. You never know what can happen out here!
11 Mile Runners:
1st loop -- consists of road and paved trail marking the boundaries of the park. This is a great loop which I think you are really going to enjoy. It is fun and fast... has a couple big hills and some serious downhills too. These are some trails, that, if you've been out here before you haven't been on! Even though its paved and gravel you will still get a bit of a trail run feel. This is the journey TO the Labyrinth.
2nd loop -- This is the real trail run. 4 miles of very technical single track which twists and turns all over the place. At the center of it all there will be an item to acquire and an aid station. Complete this loop and come back to the start for your final loop.
3rd loop -- Complete the first loop in reverse, this is your escape route! You will enjoy the downhill finish.
4 Mile Runners:
Your start time?? Well... the 11 mile starts at 9am. You will start when the first runner of the 11 miler returns from their first loop. So the start time isn't totally defined. It should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 9:30am. This is to ensure that the route TO the Labyrinth is safe! Once that is established (if no one returns, we'll have to cancel the race) you begin! Now that the pathway to the Labryinth is safe, get in there! You do the 2nd loop only. Get to the heart of the labyrinth, get your trinket, and well, that's it. You don't do the escape route, so you're probably a goner... but at least you lived well!
