Location: Long Lake Ranch Park: 17850 W 64th Ave, Arvada Colorado (CLICK HERE for DRIVING DIRECTIONS)
Port-O-Lets: There are no toilets on the 10k distance course, but plenty at the expo.
Course Surface: 1.5 miles total of the 10k are on crushed gravel and the remainder is on concrete. These concrete and gravel trails are at least 8 feet wide.
Free GPS Tracking: Friends near and far can send FREE cheers and track your progress when you use the RaceJoy App - INCLUDED with your registration! (5k and 10k only)
Water: The 10k sees 1 water station at the Egg Nog Challenge.
Course Cut Off: Runners must be off the course by 11:40 AM. There is no early start option for this event. All runners must start at their scheduled start times.
Dogs, Strollers, Skateboards: Your well behaved, leashed dogs and well-behaved children in strollers are welcome on this course. Slower runners should always stay to the right, faster runners should pass on the left. If you ride your skateboard during the event, we will cheer for you, but also disqualify you. The same is true should you decide to ride down a hill INSIDE your stroller.
Snow: We will run, even in snow. Plan accordingly. Wear layers, bring dry shoes for after the race, run more carefully on slippery surfaces....If the Parks Department restricts use of the park or the Police Department restricts use of roadways for commuting to the event because of some "snowpocalypse", then watch here for updates and check your email.
Start/Finish Description: This race has 2 starting areas and 2 finish areas for multiple distances running throughout the day. Listen for your group to be announced and directed to your start line.
10k Runners - you'll use the south side start line. Just south of the expo, you'll pass through a narrow gate to the trail system. From the gate, turn left (EAST) to the start line (there will be a big START FLAG) Start at that line and run WEST, in a clockwise route. You'll pass the finish line about 100 feet into your run and you'll cross over the start location again about 100 feet from your finish. That little 100 foot section is the only 'cross over' of your course.
