  • Comments: This race is awesome. It has grown over 5 years from 30 runners to almost 100. The main highlights of this race are the well stocked aid station, no cut off time and laid back atmosphere. There are no finishers awards, no t-shirts, no big time race attractions. Just friendly faces and a great place to run. The very large aid station which you pass at the start of each loop is well stocked. It has salted potatoes, hot soup, grilled cheese, PB&J, turkey sandwiches, cookies, brownies, bananas, fudge, advil, salt caps, water, gatorade, chips, nuts, candy, and fabulous volunteers to help you with anything you need. The unmanned aid station out on the course has gatorade, water, bananas, fig newtons, rice krispy treats, cookies, cheese crackers, peanut butter crackers and assorted salted nuts. I would recommend this race to any runner who is looking for a fun non-traditional race on thanksgiving weekend. You wont have to deal with traffic, busy cities or trouble with parking.

  • Comments: I would have given it a 5 if the course had been marked correctly. Trail race are a different breed. There is a lot of emotion support but none of the fancy ongoings you get in a concrete race. It suits me to just go out there and run without any of the fan fare. I ran miles without seeing anyone and that was fine with me. If you have ever considered a trail race, this is a great one to try. You can do everything from a one loop to an ultra marathon on this course and you can decide on that day what it is that you want to do.
