PARKING: After entering the Park Entrance, take the first left toward the Big Bluestem Shelter. Big Bluestem Shelter can be found on the right side of this MAP.

WATER: It is recommended that you carry it with you!  There will be an unmanned water station about two miles into each loop.  Because this is a 2 loop course, participants do have the option to set up their own personal mini-aid station along the course to grab a bottle of water, nutrition, etc. before starting their 2nd loop.  If you do this, make sure that you mark/identify your stuff so that it is easily recognized as yours!

COURSE: The course consists of 2 loops of 3.6 miles. 75% dirt or mulched trails, 10% gravel, 15% meadow with multiple river crossings of the Stillwater River (about mid-calf). Flush toilets are available at the start/finish.

REGISTRATION: Registration is available to all through RunSignup prior to the race.  Online registration remains open until approximately 15 minutes before race start and can be done in-person at the race.  Hard copy registration sheets are also available on race day if needed. Minors may be registered on RunSignup by a parent or guardian or in-person with a parent or guardian present to sign the waiver.

CHECK-IN: All participants must check-in before the race and attach their assigned timing chip to one of their shoes.  Look for the table with the green tablecloth to get your chip.
