Course information for the 15k trail race
The 15k course is a great loop, consisting of old forest service roads, rolling hills, and water crossings. New this year is some single track at the very end! The trail is not too technical, so it's a fast route!

The start/finish area will be at the same location, not as shown on the map. You will also NOT be running the entire track as shown on the course link.
Course information for the 7k trail race
This is the first time EVER the Army Rangers have opened the Montgomery Creek trail to the public for a race! This course is a blast to run and has an amazing waterfall along the route. You will not want to miss this one!
