Trail Runner Magazine’s 2013 TROPHY SERIES
The 15k trail run is a challenging mix of single track mountainous trail and unimproved dirt road. The course includes two long climbs and several sections of rolling ridge lines. There are rocks, roots and wet stuff. Your “dogs” will get dirty!
Aid stations stocked with water (for humans and canines) and sport drink (humans only) will be located at mile 1.2, 3.7, 5.5 and the finish. A selection of fruit and baked goods (and dog treats) will replenish you at the finish.

Parking Assistance
There will be volunteers guiding you in the parking areas. Please park in the spot that they assign you. We will fill the parting lot closest to the the starting line first, then we will fill the campground overflow lot, and finally we will park on the road side. The forest road is well traveled so if you park on the shoulder you will need to be completely off the road.
Restrooms
There are flush toilets and additional portajohns near the registration shelter.
