15K runners - During Hurricane Helene, there was a good bit of damage to the park and made a lot of the trails inaccessible by motorized vehicles or ATVs. This has resulted in longer stretches (3-4 miles) of running with no water stations. PLEASE prepare to bring water with you on the course if you need water more often.
If you miss your start time as a competitor, you may start late but your time will not be adjusted.
Please body mark your numbers if possible. Arms and front thigh if wearing shorts.
We will have a food vendor on site as well as drinks at the finish line.
The park restrooms are closed & the portables are the only option. There will be a hand washing station. We will not have an official bag check but you may store your bags behind the pavilion & there will be an officer keeping an eye out.
