The course moves through the rolling hills surrounding the Cedar Ridge property. It is mostly run on McCaw Rd, which is a hard-packed dirt road with a few looser dirt/sand sections. You should expect lots of hills of varying sizes and lengths along the course. A tall and steep hill called the Bessemer Beast is located in the middle of the half marathon course, so be prepared to conquer this behemoth.
Wear what you would run in regularly, but make sure to check the weather first. There’s a race shirt, which would be fun if everyone wore it, but it is not required. Costumes and other fun things are also encouraged. Just leave sharp and pointy parts to your costume at home. Both road and trail running shoes are acceptable forms of footwear for our hard-packed dirt road course.
There is no age limit for either race, but we recommend that younger children attempting the run be accompanied in the race by a parent or guardian.
All finishers will receive a Hilly Half medal upon the completion of the race. The top finishers, male and female, will be recognized and prizes awarded.
All race results will be posted on the results page after the race has finished.
