The Course

The course runs clockwise this year. The 50k course is 2 loops and measures approximately 16.2 miles per loop (FREE bonus mile!) and the 25k is one loop. The 25k course is one loop.  https://ridewithgps.com/routes/40980605  *NOTE, you do not need to pay for this app to access the course map* Any changes between now and race day will be sent out to all participants.  There is (tentatively) one river crossing at the southeast end of the course.  If you definitely do not want to cross the river you can cross on the Gun Rd. bridge.  This will add about a quarter mile and will not be marked.  Make sure to pick the course back up on the Ridge Extension trail on the far side of the river crossing. Everything will be VERY well marked!

Drop Bags & Aid Stations

You may bring 1 drop bag and stash it near the start/finish in the designated area. You will have access to your bag after completing loop 1 and when you are finished running. The race organizers and CCBC Catonsville are not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged items. Please be careful and smart about what you store in your drop bag. Suggestions include extra shoes & socks, clothing, nutrition, etc. Keep your cash, cards, and other valuables LOCKED in your car.

There will be aid stations at around mi, 6.2 (Lost Lake), 11mi (Cascade Falls), and at 16.4, the half way mark for 50k and finish line for 25k. You should carry some hydration at all times. Check into the aid station by telling them your bib number. Confirm they have checked you in. We will have Gatorade, water and disposable cups of soda. You can expect a variety of sweet, salty, and surprise foods on course! PLEASE make every effort not to litter and have a method to hold your trash to the next aid station. Remember to follow the directions of the volunteers. Be kind.
