Half Marathon Course Map:
The best thing about our new course: it’s pretty flat [by Austin’s standards]. The biggest climb is only 14 stories of elevation gain. Not as scary as Decker Lake!
5K Course Map:
Nice flat out and back. We’ve got the whole road to ourselves!
Kid’s Dash Course Map:
A half mile all out frenzy through the ghost town!
No day-of registrations.
