  • The Sprint course is an out-and-back route and is the same as the first and last 6 miles of the Olympic course, with a turnaround in a large cul-de-sac.
  • The course will be fully patrolled by draft marshals and busy intersections will be manned by uniformed officers.

  • Run: The run course is located entirely within the state park and will be run on wide, groomed trails.
  • The running surface is a mixture of dirt, grass, and wood chips. The course runs though all the ecosystems of the park before charging to the finish line in a large grass field that will also serve as the epicenter for the post-race festivities.
