Plenty of food and drinks will be provided at the finish line. Whether this is your first trail race, or your looking to set a PR, you'll love this course!

Parking and bathrooms are located at the Welcome Center, which is near the Start/Finish line.

30K Runners: You'll start in the field behind the visitors center, then proceed and enter Laurel Loop Trail, cross over Wildlife Road to enter Wildlife Loop, Fallstown Loop, and Fox Loop. Once these loops are complete, you'll cross back over Wildlife Road to complete the remaining section of Laurel Loop before returning back to the start/finish line at the main parking lot.

50K Runners: You'll start and race with the 30K runners along the same route, then you'll continue on Laurel Loop. Cross the parking lot entrance and continue on to Hawk Loop, Monbo Trail Loop, Norwood Creek Loop and Hicks Creek Loop before returning back to Laurel Loop to reach the finish line in the field behind the visitors center. All loops will be completed in clockwise direction, opposite way of bike traffic.

Every year this course changes directions. Odd years, the course is clockwise direction and even years the course is counterclockwise. Always the opposite direction of bike traffic.
