10K COURSE

The race will start at the Boulware Springs Trail Head of the Gainesville/Hawthorne State Trail. It will head west on the trail, a short out and back toward the Prairie Overlook, then running through the rolling hills of the hammock before entering the flat portion of the trail. From here runners will turn back again giving them the chance to cheer on their competitors and friends! 

5K COURSE

This fast, somewhat flat course will feature very few turns and a smooth paved bike path the whole way! Great for runners and walkers alike!
