COURSE DESCRIPTION: The eleven mile course delves into long forgotten, mud-slogged crevasses thought to be
haunted by haints, demons, banshees, phantoms, and poltergeists. There be hills, including one particularly memorable
one on the long course. A shorter but similarly challenging five-mile course will also be offered, and a Kids Trail Mile
will preceed the main race at 1:30 pm. Trail series Grand Prix points, however, will only be awarded for the 11-mile race.

COURSE ETIQUETTE: We reserve the right to disqualify anyone who exhibits unsportsmanlike conduct or is abusive to volunteers. Due to insurance regulations, no headsets, earphones, bicycles, baby strollers, roller blades or pets on the course.

SAFETY: Aid and water stations will be provided, but in an effort to be greener, we require all runners to carry their own water, i.e., no cups at the aid stations. If you don't own a handheld, consider purchasing one; they're quite useful out on the trail. Otherwise a basic water bottle will be provided and handheld bottleholders will be available for purchase Inexpensively. We also strongly recommend that anyone sensitive to insect stings or bites carry their own medication. Finally, we urge that everyone do some pre-race training offroad, as there is no substitute for experience. We want you to have a good time.
