It starts on the paved trail located along the lake, taking you towards the dam before turning around and heading to our finish line. This is a completely flat course, ready for you to set your next personal record. Event registration includes an event t shirt (if registered before June 7th), custom bib, custom finisher medal, race day photos, awards ceremony for top finishers and complimentary finish line drinks & snacks.
