Be aware...
This is a trail race... not your typical road race.  You will be exposed to many obstacles you would not normally see in a road race.  The course is a single-track hiking/mountain bike trail, so there are roots, rocks, quick turns, logs, beavers, and mountain bikers to avoid.  You may fall... in fact you probably will fall.  Don't complain, get up and keep running.  You will be surrounded by water (the course circles a lake) but there are only 2 water stops on our course.  So if you are thirsty, don't complain, carry your own water, use our water stops, or stick your head in the lake. 

Volunteer
We love volunteers! Come and help put on the best darn trail 1/2 marathon around. We'll even give you some free stuff.  We also have financial incentive for charity groups.  Use one of our races as a fund raiser.
