Course Description: The entire course is on graded-type dirt roads.  There is elevation gain for the first 1.5 miles and a downhill finish.   This is the easiest terrain out of all of the courses and has the least amount of elevation gain/loss.  This is a great course for children.  It is also great introduction to trail running for anyone who is participating in their first trail running event.  This is slightly longer than a 5k, 3.1 miles.
Aid Stations:  There will be one aid station on the course at approximately 1.7 miles into the course.  It will be stocked with water and friendly volunteers.

Course Description:  This course is more challenging than the 10k because of an increase in the amount of single-track.  The challenge is, however, what makes this course the participant favorite.  There is a full 1 mile hill starting at about mile 4 and ending near mile 5.   From there it is just a few bumps in the road and a downhill finish.  It is slightly short of a 15k, 9.3 miles.
Aid Stations: There are four aid stations on this course at miles 1.5, 3.2, 5, and 7.5.   They will all be stocked with water and friendly volunteers.
