A RACE FOR EVERYONE
Our race has three options for you to choose from:
5K: The 5K option is perfect for anyone who wants to run and is happy just getting out and finishing early enough to enjoy their day. The course loops around Prospect Hill and heads back into the camp ground. The course is mostly trail but does have about a mile of pavement and about 150ft of elevation. This is a great course if you're looking for a PR or to be introduced into trail running.
5M: The 5M option is for those who trained hard all winter and is ready to show off their training! The 5M and 8H runners stay together for the entire route. The route is mainly trail but has some pavement and about 350ft of elevation gain.

Your last lap must start by 2:30. This 8 Hour is limited to just 30 runners for our first year to ensure everything runs smoothly so don't wait to sign up!
