READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

In October, the average temperature in the Corydon area is around 18°C (64°F) at the daytime high and 5°C (41°F) at the morning low,

so layered clothing is needed for the cool fall weather.

The 50k course is a rugged singletrack that includes the Adventure Hiking Trail,

with roughly 1,370m (4,500 feet) of cumulative elevation gain, making it physically demanding.

The entry fee includes park admission, a T-shirt, and a commemorative ornament.

Times are local to Corydon. Check the latest official information before the race.
