The 5K goes out 1.55 miles from the start and turns around to go back to the finish line.
The 10K goes out 3.1 miles from the start and turns around to go back to the finish line.
The course is 100% hard packed trail. You don't need trail running shoes. Your regular racing shoes are fine. The trail is evenly topped with crushed limestone. Online, it says, "It is relatively smooth and easy to pedal, run, or hike." I've ridden my bike on it the last 2 years to set up the course and it was a smooth ride. When walking on various parts of the course, I didn't find any loose pebbles getting caught in my shoes.
There will be aid stations with water and Gatorade about every two miles.
