Trail running
5k
We heard your recommendations and the 5k and 10k will start in opposite directions. The 5k heads toward Cool and have an aid station at mile 1.2 before looping back to Northside. I thought this would be a fun opportunity for the kiddos to experience an aid station during their event.

Half Marathon
The half marathon course consists of a 10 mile loop and the first 5k loop of the 10k course. The course begins at NS, heads out to Cool, down the gorgeous, shaded three mile stretch of Western States all the way down to No Hands Bridge. After aiding at No Hands, you reverse and take K2 (1000 ft climb in 0.9 miles) back up to the trails in the Knickerbocker Area. After reaching the top of K2, the rest of the course is made up of flats and rolling hills and a mix of single and wider track. A lot of the second half of the course is out in the open so if it is hot, be sure to plan accordingly. Aid again in Cool before heading back to NS via different, rolling, mostly single track trails. Arrive at NS and do a 5k loop to complete. 1700 feet elevation gain with max elevation of 1560 feet and minimum of 630 feet. Potential creek crossing on return to Northside before final 5k loop depending on weather.
