• This is an off-road run: There are some areas with really rough terrain. Please watch your step and use caution on the downhill grades.
• 5k participants: 
  • Click here for full details about the route. 
  • This is an out and back route. First water station is your turn around point.
  • Stay on the right side of the road and share the space with on-coming runners.
• Half & 10k participants: At your 2nd aid station, Half marathon participants will head to the left (south) and 10k participants will go straight over the hill.
• For the Half marathon participants, the 3rd aid station you will pass on your way to the rim rock, you’ll loop around the rim, and double back to aid station 3. At that station, turn to the left headed west. 
• 55k Ultra Runners: Please see 55k page for aid station details.

Gear Drop:
There will be a Gear Drop station in the gym at packet pickup and near the finish line where you can leave your keys or post race items for easy access after you finish and for safe keeping. 

Discarded Items/Lost & Found:  
If you leave items on the hill at the aid stations or accidentally drop something along the course, you can reclaim those items at the Lost & Found/Gear Drop site next to the fence by the finish line.

First Aid:
There are mobile medical units on the hill to assist if anyone has any kind of problem. Please notify the volunteers at the water stations or anyone on a mobile unit if you need assistance or if someone along the route has a problem. Thank you for being aware and helping to take care of each other. 

Finish Line: 

• Finishers medals distributed as you exit the shute.
• Post race food this year will include chicken burrito bowls. Gluten-free options will be available.
• Drinks will include: chocolate milk, water, and Gatorade.

Awards:

• Awards will be given for the top three finishers in the 55k, Half, 10k, and 5k for men and women. 
• The awards ceremony will begin at 11:45 a.m. or when the top three finishers, male and female in the 5k, 10k, and half cross the finish line. Top finishers for the 55k will be recognized as they finish. 
• First place, men and women, age bracket winners will be awarded following the recognition of the overall top finishers. 
• No double-dipping: If a runner places in the overall top 3, they will not also receive an age group award. The age group award will roll down to the next eligible finisher.
  
• ​Results will be posted on big screens at the timing station and will be available online. 

Showers: 
We know some of you have long drives and/or flights after the event, so the high school shower rooms will be open at 11:15 a.m., AFTER the run for participants to freshen up before they hit the road home. 

​Spectators/Guests – 

• There is plenty of space in the park and along the route where spectators may wait and cheer on their runners.
  
  

Parking: 
Yellow cones will mark off NO PARKING areas. The parking lots around the school and the old packing sheds are great options. You can park along any of the side streets and main roads, but please be courteous of residents and don’t block any alleys or driveways.
