2022 Race Details Coming Soon

Our course in Frog Level will take runners from the start in front of Panacea and Frog Level Brewing on a lollipop shaped course along Sulphur Springs Road. This course is super flat with only 77 feet of elevation gain along the course.

There is one aid station at approximately mile 1.5 serving water.  There are no portajohns on the course.

Tobacco Prohibition
The Town of Waynesville has an ordinance prohibiting the use of tobacco and e-cigarettes in business districts, which includes the venue where this event will take place.

Following the race, participants may enjoy food and music, take part in the gift basket raffle and watch the awards ceremony.

Beginning at 12:00 PM, those 21 and older may receive a beer inside Frog Level Brewing by showing your race bib.  Due to Waynesville ordinances, the beer must be consumed inside the brewery or on their back patio.

Awards will be given to the top overall male and female, the top masters male and female and the top 3 male/female in the following age groups: 14&Under, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69 and 70&Over.

We will also award a prize for the first dog/person team to cross the finish line.

The race will utilize chip timing. Chips are located on your race bib which must be worn on the front of your race clothes.

Well behaved dogs who have current vaccinations and tags are welcome.  If you plan to run/walk with them, please make sure you register them during the online process.
