Starting and finishing at 154 S Main St., each loop covers varied terrain with a mix of hard trails and dry surfaces, keeping runners on their toes throughout the day. Aid stations are strategically placed along the route for hydration and quick energy replenishment, ensuring participants can maintain peak performance through multiple loops.
