Course Map:
There are three distances: 7.4 miles (12 km), 14.9 miles (24 km), 22 miles (33.4 km) and all start from the McKenny Trailhead in Capitol Forest. This is a different trailhead with slightly longer distances than last year. ** The course will be marked but if you are unfamiliar with the area, be sure to take the map with you. **
We recommend downloading the free Avenza app from Friend’s of Capitol Forest’s website and adding our georeferenced course map. See our course map below. Email [email protected] if you are unable to access the map.
Have fun and stay safe!
