Race will be entirely in the State Park on the combined asphalt and crushed lime trails (gorgeous!).
10K = 6.2 miles on Lake Defiance and Bog Trails.
Half Marathon = 13.1 miles on Lake Defiance Trail, paved bike path (out and back), Fox River Trail (2 loops), and Leatherleaf Bog Trails.
Both races begin in the Northern Woods area deep in the park. Be prepared for rolling hills on most of the 10K. The middle six miles of the Half Marathon are mostly flat.
The race distance courses split at approximately the 2.5 mile mark as the 10K continues on the Leatherleaf Bog Trail to finish back at Northern Woods.
The Half Marathon runners will split off and run out and back on the paved bike trail, then loop the Fox River/McHenry Dam Trail twice. Finally, the Half Marathoners rejoin the 10K course at the Leatherleaf Bog Trail for the last three plus miles, to finish back at the Northern Woods.
Tee shirt and goodies for all participants.
