Course Information

5K Course Description

Mile 1

Runners leave the beach on a hard packed trail as they loop through the brush. After making a u-turn the trail opens to a wide, flat gravel road perfect for opening up some distance on the competition.

Mile 2

The course follows a wide dirt trail before looping around the parking lot and up “Heartbreak Hill”! Once runners peak the hill they race back down it and towards the water.

Mile 3

It is a race down the hard packed beach back to the main event site. With the finish line in sight, runners head for a quick detour into the lake on their way to the MUD!!

10K Course Description

Mile 1

Runners leave the beach on a hard packed trail and the course immediately splits apart from the 5K and follows the hard packed trail along the beach.

Mile 2

Runners continue down the beach before turning up a trail into the hills. Mile two has a steady climb as the course narrows with trees on either side.

Mile 3

Runners work their way downhill through the trails and back out towards the main beach to join up with the 5K course.

Mile 4

Once on the 5K course, the runners loop through the brush. After making a u-turn the trail opens to a wide, flat gravel road perfect for opening up some distance on the competition.

Mile 5

The course follows a wide dirt trail before looping around the parking lot and up “Heartbreak Hill”! Once runners peak the hill they race back down it and towards the water.

Mile 6

It is a race down the hard packed beach back to the main event site. With the finish line in site runners head for a quick detour into the lake on their way to the MUD!!
