Updated 4/25/23

Both races will start and finish in the field near the barn at Wag Valley Farm for a short section on grass and a dirt road before reaching the single-track trail. 

There will be signs marking every turn with volunteers at key locations.  Along the course you will see ribbons hanging from trees.  This means you are on the correct course.

5K

After the farm surprised us by adding wood and electric fencing, thus eliminating part of our original course, this race is closer to 4 miles than 5K.  Think of it as getting more time in the beautiful woods and more race for your dollar.  It will consist of one loop of the course.  There will be one water station on the top of the trail.

18K

The 18K runners will do the loop and course three times and the 5K runners once.  There will be two water stations – one at the top of the trail and one  near the start/finish area.  18K runners are welcome to have your support crew near this area to provide nutrition and drinks beyond the water we will be handing out.

Timing

The race will utilize chip timing. The chips are attached to the back of your race bib so don’t crinkle them.  Please wear your bib on the front of your clothing so we can see it at the finish line.

All four legged-friends on a leash and up-to-date shots are welcome in the race area but not on the course or in the finish chute.

Parking is available in the grass fields at Wag Valley Farm.  Follow the signs and directions of volunteers.

Daniel’s Run has a NO REFUND policy.
