Course Marking 2026:
All intersections are marked to guide you to the next section of trail. Between intersections will have only a few reminder flags, stay on the trail until the next intersection.
🟠 Orange Ribbon: Will indicate you are approaching a key intersection, once at the intersection if you turn around the orange ribbon indicates NOT to go that direction. Two orange ribbons, left and right side of the trail, indicate do NOT go on that trail. Orange is your warning signal / wrong way.
⚪️ White Ribbon/Flags: Is the main trail for all distances. Following only the white flags the entire way = 12M loop
🔴 Red Ribbon/Flags: Is the 5M Sandstone Trail section. You follow white flags to get to this section, and follow white flags after this section. This is for the 5M race, and the third and final loop of the 50K. Make sure to take the left turn at the red flags, do not continue following white at this obvious intersection. You will notice an obvious transition back on to the white course with red and white paired before following white the rest of the way.
🟡 Yellow Ribbon/Flags: Is the 5K course section. You follow white flags to get to this section, and follow white flags after this section. The yellow sections ends at the water coolers at the top of the scenic overlook trailhead (transition from road back to trail). This is for the 5K course only.
🔵 Blue Ribbon/Flags: Is the Lake Loop Add-on. You follow white flags to get to this section, and follow white flags after this section. Note there is a very short out-and-back connector from the main white loop to the actual loop of the lake. You go counterclockwise around the lake to end up back at this connector. Do not get stuck doing the lake loop, the flagging is obvious to head back to the white loop.
