The course is an out and back that proceeds south along the trail before turning off on Old Spring Road.

Q: Is the course certified? A: No, the certified course has the start/finish in the field adjacent to the rec center which does not work well in early January. The start line on the trail is accurate and reverified each year - rest assured it is a full 10 miles.

Q: What is the deal with the race bibs? Do I need to fill out the information on it? A: The bibs are used to help the course marshals and finish line volunteers identify the racers from the other trial users. You do not need to fill out any information on the bib and the tabs will not be collected at the finsih line.
