The half-marathon trail run will be 13.1 miles, and the 5K trail run is 3.1 miles. The loop course is on the scenic trails of Silver Springs. Runners will receive a commemorative shirt, unique finisher medal, colorful patch, a well-marked course, chip timing with awards, post-race food, and drinks.

Currently, both the half-marathon and 5K runs are at capacity. The virtual run is available for $45.
