Are you ready to Kiss the Goat?
Last year we had so much fun with the 11 mile option that we decided to extend it on into a half marathon! To keep a lighter day in the mix the options we also have a 10K. With these new routes it sadly does not leave us space for the classic 4 mile loop. We feel this trail system offers great longer runs to keep stacking the elevation and want to give the runners the best option for what the Benny Goat Trails have, climbing!
The 10K route will be roughly 1250 feet of climbing and the half marathon around 2500 ft of climbing. Runners will do a 6.56 mile loop in each direction for the half marathon, and one lap, with a bit of a short cut for the 10K.
NO DOGS ON COURSE. They are welcome at the facility, but not the race course.
This race is suggested for experienced trail runners/hikers. If you plan to hike, please do the 10K, and make us aware you are hiking.
