Short Course Profile

There will be one water station on the course serving water.  We suggested all runners carry their own fluids and/or nutritional supplies.

There will be signs marking every turn.

Stuff

We realize everyone has a lot of race shirts so we will be offering our long sleeve race shirt as an a la carte item during registration for $20.

Water and light snacks will be provided near the finish line. 

Prizes will be awarded to the top 10 male and female finishers in each race.

The race will utilize chip timing for both races. 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.

Dogs are welcome in the parking and Start/Finish area on the bridge but not on the course.

All parking will be in the Chestnut Mountain parking lot.

Glory Hound Events has a NO REFUND/NO DEFERRAL policy.

This is the only way transfers or the selling of bibs between participants will be allowed. Anyone who is discovered to have purchased or accepted another person’s bib without submitting this form will be disqualified and banned from future races.
