LH Course Preview

Join Andy & Amy for a course preview/training run for the 2027 LH100. You do not have to be registered for the race to participate in the course preview/training run.
We have the group campground reserved on Friday & Saturday nights for anyone interested in camping the night before or after the run. Reminder: this is a primitive campground with no water or electricity, and is tent camping only.

Event Start

The course will be marked, and we will provide a few water stops. Run a loop (16.8 miles) or more!
Reminder: There is a $3 per person or $4 per vehicle fee to enter Colt Creek State Park.

The training run will start at the Middle Lake Day Use pavilion. NOTE: This is NOT the S/F for the race - it is Parking Area A. The first wave of runners will start at 8:30 am sharp. You may start anytime, but 8:30 will be the official kick-off of the preview run.
There are bathrooms at the day use area and ample parking here.

Directions to start:
Once you stop at the Ranger Station, take the first right (just a few feet past the guardhouse) and go past the small parking lot and down the shell road.

On Course Hydration

There will be water available at the run start, and the two on course aid stations during the race. All of these stops will be unstaffed stations, with water only. Do you need food and electrolytes? Bring them! Plan to leave your drop bags/coolers in your vehicle. Since the park is open to the public, you will probably want to keep everything secure. The course will be marked with signs at the major turns and a few "confidence" flags.

Event's current local time: 5:56 PM ET
