  1. What are the distances? It says 10 mile and 5k, then it says 5 mile and 10k. Could you post course maps as well or descriptions of the routes?

  2. Whoops! Sorry for the typo - now fixed. 10-Mile and 5K. We'll have the course finalized and a map up by the end of next week, stay tuned! Trying to decide whether to take the run by Bald Knob or the Old Golf Course overlooks..

  3. The 10 miler course will no longer use all of the Homestead trail. It will use a small portion and then traverse under Bald Knob. This will take out a significant climb that really hurts. The 10 mile course comes in at a technical 9.3 miles and ~1600ft of climbing. It will run like it is longer. The leaves are starting to change as of this weekend. See you up there.

  4. When you arrive, where do you place your things prior to the start of the race? Should I anticipate carrying my car key with me in order to secure my things within my vehicle, or will there be a secure location to place my keys, change of shirt, etc ?

  5. We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey.

  6. Traveling in various states or countries has become a frequent need for Business Executives. Under the rapidly increases security issues, worse weather condition most of the flights are getting late. This sort of trend by the commercial flights is giving an opportunity to the Business Executives to look for other better options. While considering the fast travel needs the one easy choice is the Charter a Private Jet.
