The course consists of beautiful rolling terrain on both single-track and multi-use trails. The Elinor Klapp-Phipps Park Trail is comprised of three main loops: Swamp Forest, Coon Bottom, and Oak Hammock, along with several connecting trails. The course connects these trails into a 6.85-mile loop.
The cut-off time for this event is 1:00 PM. This will give runners 5 hours to complete the 20-Mile Challenge. If you do not finish your second loop in 3.5 hours, you may not continue and will be awarded the half marathon finish time.
Friday, January 3, from 4:00 - 7:00 PM at Trail & Ski (2743 Capital Cir NE) and Saturday morning at the race from 6:30 AM - 7:30 AM. We encourage everyone to make any attempt possible to pick up your packet on Friday so we can start the race on time Saturday morning without any delays.
