Course
Course Map:
The 4.3-mile course loop will begin and end at Loop E of the Little Bennett Campground. Trails utilized are a combination of Acorn Hollow Trail, Beaver Valley Trail, Stoney Brook Trail, W Piedmont Trail, Tobacco Barn Trail, Windy Ridge Trail, Browning Run Trail and Bennett Ridge Trail.
**Pending final approvals. Route is subject to change at any point. Please follow course markings and volunteer/staff instructions on event day.
Course Marking:
The entire course will be marked with pink surveyor flags stamped with a black CCR Logo and pink flagging tape in the trees. A wide red ribbon will be placed at junctions or trails not a part of the race. Bright yellow signs labeled with the CCR Logo and arrows will also be placed at all junctions on the course, with wrong-way signs on trails that are not a part of the race. Additionally, all trails and trail junctions within Little Bennett Regional Park are signed with permanent signs by the park.
Event Alert System:
We have implemented a color-coded Event Alert System (EAS) for Froggy Hollow 5 & 9 that will communicate the status of course conditions on race day. The levels range from Low (green) to Moderate (yellow) to High (red) to Extreme (black) based on the weather and other course conditions. On race day, the current EAS status will be communicated via color-coded flags at the start /finish area and along the course at the aid station.
All participants should familiarize themselves with the EAS prior to the race, remain alert for directions from race staff, and take precautions to prepare properly for varying weather or course conditions on race day.
