Course Markings
Each course will be well marked with orange plastic ribbons with black polka dots. Trail junctions and turns will be well marked with colorful laminated signs. Please pay attention to these signs at each junction as there are multiple race distances and race courses! Course signs will correspond with your bib color (4M = Blue, 20K = Green, 20M = Yellow, 52K = Red, 52M = White, 100M = Orange). In addition, blue & white checkerboard plastic flagging will be hung along with “WRONG WAY” signs to designate non-race trails. All runners are responsible for understanding the layout of the courses. Please familiarize yourself with the course maps on our website prior to race day and/or print a map to bring along with you.

Tent & Cot Rental
We will be renting tents and cots for use by runners again this year. You may reserve a tent and/or cot when you register for the race.
