7.5 Mile Race Details
Who wouldn’t want to spend the day after Thanksgiving out on the stunning trails through Cane Creek Mountains Natural Area? This course is extremely well marked and offers beautiful views throughout. All turns are marked with hanging tape and turn signs, and incorrect trail marked with Wrong Way Signs. If you're looking for a new Thanksgiving weekend tradition, come out and run or walk with us!
7.5 Milers will follow the pink/red tape with the half marathon runners until the split approximately 1 mile from the finish. Then you will follow the yellow tape.

Most of the course winds along single-track trails, but don’t worry—there are plenty of spots to pass. The trails are semi-technical, with moderate root- and rock-filled sections, yet it’s the climbs that will really challenge you.
Hiking poles are recommended.
