🚵‍♀️ 🏇SHARE THE TRAILS 

The trails of both the Kickapoo Valley Reserve are shared by hikers, mountain bikers, equestrians and hunters. Please wear bright colored shirts and yield to mountain bikers and equestrians. Announce to horse riders in a clear, calm voice that you are approaching and let them pass if you do encounter them on the trail. Horses are unpredictable animals and will most likely spook at a runner. Please share the trails!

🎧HEADPHONES

I will allow headphones for all races this year, however, please be VERY aware of your surroundings while plugged in. Keep your eyes up and try to keep the volume on your device at a minimum. Remember, you will possibly be sharing the trails this year with equestrians, hikers and mountain bikers. They will most likely not see you coming!

🌦WEATHER

The forecast for Friday & Saturday September 28th-29th, 2018 is shaping up to be a CHILLY one! It will be VERY COLD in the morning and rain might be expected. If you dress in layers, during your run, you can leave your item at any Aid Station w/ your Bib # attached for identification. Please do not discard clothing along the trail! 

TRASH & WRAPPERS

Please hold on to your energy supplement wrappers, kleenex, water bottles, etc etc until you arrive at an Aid Station. Keep these trails clean.  Please leave no trace! 

💦HYDRATION

 I highly recommend using hand held water bottles, hydration packs and/or vests for the 50k,  and Half Marathon Courses. There are 4 main Aid Stations (runners pass x2) total. 3 for the 50k with 3-4 water stops. The Half Marathon has 1 main Aid Station (runners pass x2) and 2-3 water stops. Please see maps for details and carry enough water to stay safely hydrated.

🍌🍫🍪AID STATIONS 

There are 3 main Aid Stations (runners pass x2) on the 50k course plus 2-3 water stops and access to a port potty just over half way. The Half Marathon has 1 main Aid Station (runners pass x2) 2-3 water stop. The 5k has 1 main Aid Station (runners pass x1) and 1 water stop.

🚑 If you cannot finish the race, please notify the Aid Station Leader and the Sag Wag will come pick ya up! If you need First Aid, there will be First Aid Kits available for superficial treatment (anything more serious and transport via Sag Wag to Medical Tent will be provided).
