The Start/Finish line is a short walk away from the parking lot and the race is an out-and-back format. Runner's will run along the trail to a Midway point, and proceed back to the Start/Finish line. (See Map)

The trail is not paved and has areas with loose soil and raised tree roots, runner's will need to be careful of their footing. The trail is mostly flat, but there are areas with elevation changes. Mile Marker signage will be posted to help guide runner's. There will also be volunteers, trail staff, and an EMT located along the trail to assist any runners.
