Important Hot Mess Course Update! Runners received an email about this but posting for added visibility.
Due to an issue with beavers 🦫 at the park (yep we’re serious) causing flooding at an important intersection, we’ve had to modify the course. The water level is to a point you simply can’t follow a trail.
Both races will follow along a 4.35 mile loop, sharing the same course entirely. This loop is nearly 100% trail.
Half marathoners will do 3 loops to get their 13.1. 6 hour runners, you know the drill.
We know this isn’t ideal but it’s the best compromise without making the course substantially more than a half marathon, or having to include pavement. This is true to distance for the half marathon, and keeps it a true trail race.
