Attention: Change in 5k course!
Due to safety concerns, we've made a significant change to the route for the upcoming Owyhee Off-Road Challenge 5k. We're committed to ensuring the safety and enjoyment of all participants, and after careful consideration, we've decided to alter the course.
Here are the details of the new route: The 5k is still an out and back course.
Old Route: The route previously included a one-mile stretch down Hwy 201, up the hill for half a mile, back, and returning the last mile on the highway, which raised safety concerns.
New Route: The revised route will now take participants on a safer and more scenic journey. Instead of heading south down Hwy 201, runners will now depart from the starting line and head directly west, ascending Emerald Slope Road. From there, they will continue towards the northwest of the A-Hill. The route will be an out and back, with runners turning around at the 1.55 mile mark. Upon returning, participants will follow the canal path and then return down Emerald Slope Road. This adjustment ensures that participants are kept off the highway, mitigating potential risks, and providing a more enjoyable experience for all involved.

Additionally, this new route will allow finishers of all distances to complete their races from the same direction, enhancing the overall event experience.

Both runners and walkers are welcome to compete regardless of experience.
We look forward to seeing you and wish you the best of success in your training.

All participants will receive a hand-crafted finishers medal and a long-sleeve Leslie Jordan tech shirt.
