Finisher Items | Finishers will receive custom finisher item.  Details coming soon about this year's item. 

Course | The course is well planned with a 1.5-mile parade loop on Streetcar Drive to “naturally” sort the field by pace prior to entering the trail. Runners will complete a full loop counterclockwise and then return to the start/finish line at the old streetcar ‘loop’ building. This course also has about six great spectator locations within a quarter-mile walk – if your loved ones would like to see you suffer. Participants should be able to keep a pace of ~21 mins per mile.

  • No-Risk Registration - We understand these are uncertain times. Our intention is to host an in-person event. However, should the health situation change and we are unable to host the event, all runners will be able to defer to 2021 or run the event virtually.  If the event is canceled prior to February 1, 2021, participants will have the option to choose between a refund, deferral, or to run the event virtually. Registration is only available online. In-person registration is not available at packet pick-up or race day.
  • Will there be on course Aid Stations? Yes, there will be on-course aid stations BUT with minimal supplies and support.  We highly encourage and recommend participants carry all hydrations and nutritional needs in their running pack.  
  • Will there be on-course support? Yes, we will have course marshals and traffic control on course. EMS will be available at the finish line. 
  • Are dogs allowed at the event or allowed to participate? We love dogs, but dogs are not allowed at this event or allowed to participate in the race.
  • Inclement Weather Policy: The safety of our participants and volunteers is our highest priority.  If severe weather is present, we will post an update on the Facebook Event Page and at the top of this page by 6:00 am the morning of the event at the latest.
  • Health Survey: All participants will be required to complete an online health survey prior to participation and be negative for symptoms of COVID-19  in order to participate. The survey will be emailed out prior to the event.
  • Refund Policy - No refunds will be given after February 1, 2021. Processing fees are non-refundable. Entries are not transferable to another event but can be transferred to another participant. Transferring registration is allowed through February 15, 2021.  A $3 processing fee will be applied to all refunds and transfers. 
  • What if I have a positive COVID-19 test or show symptoms of COVID-19? If you have a positive COVID-19 test or are showing symptoms (click here for a full list of symptoms) we ask that you do not attend the event. Participants who fall into this category will be offered the following options; defer to the 2021 event, or participate virtually after their quarantine period. We will also offer the following refund option. If the request is received before February 1, 2021, the participant can receive a full refund minus the transaction fees, if, after February 1, 2021, participants with a positive COVID-19 test can receive a 50% refund.  
  • COVID-19 Status: Our intention is to be able to hold this event in person. We are working on plans to take all necessary precautions to make this a safe event during the COVID-19 situation based on the latest/greatest guidelines as the event approaches. As we finalize those plans and precautions and have them in place, we will include them in race communications closer to the race date. Participant safety is our number one concern, so if it is deemed unsafe to have an in-person event, the race will be switched to an all-virtual event. Should we have to hold the event virtually, we will automatically switch all participants to the virtual event and send details on how to obtain your race swag and submit your virtual times. If you do not want to participate in the virtual event, you can defer your entry to our 2021 event. We will contact all participants in the event that it goes virtual with further instructions.
