COURSE – The main course is a 6-mile loop that 29K runners complete three times and the 10K
runners do once, with a slight variation at the end. The course heads out of the NN Museum,
circling the Museum once before heading out on the Museum Trail. The course heads up on the
Museum Trail to the WR Dam and on to the Fish & Wildlife trail system, dropping into the historic
tribal government complex and then back to the WR Park. From the Park, the route heads back
toward the Museum. The course is subject to slight variation at the discretion of race and tribal
officials.

AID STATIONS – There will be three aid stations on each loop, located at the NN Museum parking
area, in the backcountry route near the Dam and at Fish & Wildlife office. Stations will include
water, Tailwind Nutrition, Honey Stinger, fresh fruit, sweet and salty snacks.

WEATHER – September weather in Window Rock can be cool, mild or very warm, so keep eye on
the forecast prior to the race. The threat of thunderstorms (generally in the afternoon) always
looms in the early fall.
