To guarantee a finisher's medal upon completion of the Trail Classic, you must register by July 26, 2013 at 9:00pm. To guarantee a shirt in your size, you must register by August 23, 2013 at 9:00pm.

There will be three aid stations on the full out-and-back course, at the following points on the courses:

5K: No aid stations

10K: Mile 2.5 on the out, and mile 3.7 on the return trip

Half Marathon: Miles 2.5 and 4.7 on the out, and miles 8.35 and 10.6 on the return trip

25K: Miles 2.5, 4.7, and 8 (at the turnaround) on the out, and miles 11.3 and 13.5 on the return trip

All aid stations will be stocked with water in water jugs (you MUST carry your own water bottle), an electrolyte drink provided in cups, energy gels, and an assortment of munchies and goodies to eat.

We have a very firm belief that true trail runners are explorers at heart and minimalists in many ways, therefore, our aid stations are self-serve, meaning no little cups for water! You must BRING A HYDRATION SYSTEM of your own to fill up.

For the first time ever, we're putting up a $500 cash prize to the 1st overall finisher of the 25K!

There will be other prizes from our sponsors (announced as the race gets closer) for the overall winners of all distances, along with medals for the top 3 males and top 3 females of each distance.

All finishers will receive a custom Trail Classic medal created specifically for this year's race, and all registered runners will receive a Trail Classic tech tee, in either unisex or ladies-fit*.

*To be guaranteed a ladies-fit tech tee, you must register by August 23, 2013 at 9:00pm.
