Runners can expect the route to be marked at all intersections and turns with spray chalk and/or flagging, with minimal flagging on trails with no turns.
Pre-run orientation will happen at the route start point and we will have some Trail Butter and Hammer Nutrition gels to hand out. Parking is available here. We have no aid station so runners will have to carry all their own supplies and water.
