The Course: The course is out-and back along the historic Delaware Canal State Park towpath trail from Washington Crossing Historic Park, Pennsylvania, running north to a turnaround point near Chez Odette's, south of New Hope , and returning to Washington Crossing Historic Park. A course map and detailed course information may be found on www.runbucks.com.
In order to reduce crowding on the Delaware Canal State Park towpath, we plan to employ a wave start. Small groups based on predicted finish time will be released over several minutes. Please be honest with your predicted finish time as incorrectly submitted times will make travel on along the canal towpath more difficult.

Awards: Overall awards will be given to top three men and women and top three in age groups by gender. Age groups are subject to change dependent on pre-registration.
We will conduct a ceremony after a cool down period for those finishers. We will post age group results approximately 15 minutes after categories close out. We will not be mailing awards.
