5K Course Map                      

There will be one water station on the course, about half way through the race.

Volunteers will be stationed at each turn and there will be signs marking every turn.

We ask you to stay to the right side of the road/trail whenever possible.

Because of the narrow nature of some of the trail sections on the course, strollers will not be permitted.

Stuff

All 5K runners will receive a custom race shirt and goody bag.

Shirts will be ordered on or around August 28 so anyone registering after that date may not receive a shirt and/or in the size they prefer.

Water and light snacks will be provided near the finish line with live music at the JM West Lumberjack facility.

The awards ceremony will take place at approximately 11:15 AM at the JM West Lumberjack facility.

Prizes will be awarded to the top 5 male and female finishers, regardless of age.

The race will utilize chip timing for 5K runners. The chips are attached to the back of your race bib so don’t crinkle them.

Walkers will also receive bibs but their journey will be untimed.

Please wear your bib on the front of your clothing so we know who you are at all times.

You may run with your dog for an additional $10. They should be well behaved with current tags and vaccinations and on a short leash.
