Course Info:

Cedarock Park has 12 miles of awesome single-track and equestrian trails.  Each of the 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon courses start with .6 miles of wide road, gravel, and paved trail before hitting the single-track trails.  After this beginning section, athletes run along a combination of forested single-track and wide equestrian trails.  There are plenty of passing opportunities spread throughout.  We would categorize these trails as moderately technical, with some root and rock filled sections and several punchy hill climbs.  In terms of elevation gain, the one-loop 5K and 10k courses offer 217' and 508' of gain, respectively.  The two-loop Half Marathon course has 999' of gain.
