Description

Half Marathon and 5k race loops start and finish at Watoga's Beaver Creek Campground and use an old grassy airstrip to give runners a chance to spread out, then follow beautiful shaded park trails at elevations between 2560 and 3200 feet.  The Half Marathon will use the same route as 2019; the 5k race route may be slightly modified.

Registration: 5K Race (walkers permitted): $30 before July 1st, $35 from July 2nd to August 7th, and $40 on race day (checks only). Limited to 150 runners.
