Course Info:

All races follow PINK RIBBONS for an out-and-back course heading eastward from the starting line at Mosquito Road. For each distance, the path goes up a steady 3% grade to the turnaround point, and the second half of the race is downhill all the way to the finish.

The Kids Run, 1 Mile, 5K, 10K, and 15K courses are run entirely on a paved bike path. The pavement ends at about 5.6 miles into the half marathon course, and the remainder of the distance to the turnaround point is run on a dirt and gravel path.

There are several road crossings along the course. Most are private roads or smaller feeder roads with relatively little traffic, but each crossing will be marked with yellow ribbons to alert runners of a crossing with vehicular traffic.

Runners should use extreme caution and follow our volunteers’ instructions when crossing the busier Carson Road (near start/finish) and Jacquier Road (about 2 miles into the race). Volunteers will make every attempt to stop vehicular traffic prior to your arrival, but if they tell you to STOP please do so until they indicate it is safe for you to cross.
