Several hundred people do this race of multiple distances. You get a good quality hoodie and a handmade medal made out of wood. Post-race snacks is minimal, but perhaps unknown attendance due to COVID they skipped it. The 25k was a little long at 16.7miles, but so glad it was one big loop! About 1000’ of total elevation gain that takes you over roots, fallen trees, dirt, rock, gravel, grass, prairie. It’s got horse poo hazards, but no water hazards. 🙂 Chip timed, and they also have multiple checkpoints where people with clipboards keep track of everyone since it is a single loop done multiple times for longer distances. As it is with big loops, there is only 1 place other than the finish where you can see the runners twice. Definitely recommend and I might try a longer distance (50k or marathon distance) in the future. And maybe next time I’ll dress up in costume to get a possible award!

Fun, friendly, moderate, relatively fast
Mild elevation gain on trails wide and narrow with aid stations well-stocked every 3-4 miles. Mostly runnable and energetic atmosphere. Well organized, but the trail system offers many areas that … MORE
Mild elevation gain on trails wide and narrow with aid stations well-stocked every 3-4 miles. Mostly runnable and energetic atmosphere. Well organized, but the trail system offers many areas that can be a challenge to navigate if not well-marked. Future races must have better marked turns to avoid confusion.
