Half Marathon Race Details
Who wouldn’t want to spend the day after Thanksgiving out on the stunning trails through Cane Creek Mountains Natural Area? This course is extremely well marked and offers beautiful views throughout. All turns are marked with hanging tape and turn signs. As the park will remain open to hikers, no trails will be marked off rather we will use Wrong Way signs. If you're looking for a new Thanksgiving weekend tradition, come out and run or walk with us!
All half marathon runners will follow the pink/red hanging tape.

This is a course map on Strava. Half Marathoners complete two loops of this course. You are able to view the course and elevation, as well as download a GPX file from this link to use with your running watch.
Most of the course winds along single-track trails, but don’t worry—there are plenty of spots to pass. The trails are semi-technical, with moderate root- and rock-filled sections, yet it’s the climbs that will really challenge you.
Hiking poles are recommended.
