Aubrey Reynolds's Staging Area

A great trail run out on by a great group of people. The night/headlamp aspect makes this race truly unique and a must do. It gets completely dark around 8:30pm, so if you release then or after you’ll be running the whole race in the dark/with a headlamp (must bring your own). The aid stations were spaced out perfectly (must bring your own bottles to fill) and the no disposable cups was a great aspect to keep the environment beautiful and cut down on waste. The first roughly 5 miles or so are on a dirt road/wide trail that does have some rocky areas and hills, so watch your footing but it’s nothing too technical. From approximately mile 5/6 and carrying on to approximately mile 8/9 it is quite technical with ledges mere feet away (shouldn’t be an issue if you have a headlamp – nothing to worry about) and 3-4 foot high rocks you have to make your way over or around, etc. Starting around mile 8/9 you get back to the same dirt road/calmer elements you came out on. It’s a fun course that you should not be worried about but excited about. It’s worth it! There are plenty of people running the whole course for time and there are plenty of people walking or walk/jogging and enjoying simply completing the race. Whatever you’re choice, this race is an experience you won’t want to miss out on. A must do that will get you excited to run.
