Course
The 5K course is a "lollipop" loop that begins at the south side of the Smoky Hill parking lot, where runners will pass through the Start/Finish line onto the Smoky Hill Trail. Follow the Smoky Hill trail until it joins with the Colorado Front Range trail, and continue south. Shortly after the 1-mile marker, runners will turn right onto the Pipeline trail to begin the "lollipop" loop portion of the race. Participants will turn right onto the Wetland Loop trail after 0.2 miles, and then another right onto the North Connector Trail. Shortly after the 2-mile marker, runners will turn left to rejoin the Colorado Front Range trail and return toward the Smoky Hill Lot. Runners will veer left near mile 2.5 to continue along the Smoky Hill trail and complete the 5k course. Please see the race map to view the course in detail.
