Aid Stations, Course Details, & Sundries
There will be three aid stations on the Half Marathon course and one on the Four-Mile Course. Please bring a water bottle or reusable cup. We'll have some available but we encourage sustainability.
Four-Mile course: This year, we're doing a loop course. We will start near the Main Lodge, take the trail to the beach, run on the road for a stretch, and then take the North Snowmobile trail back to the start/finish area. Expect some decent hills!
Half-Marathon course: You'll do the 4-mile loop, then finish with an out-and-back on the crushed gravel trail (nice and flat).
