Aid stations (water, Gatorade) at the Banks Trailhead and at Crossman Place.  The 5K passes the first aid station twice and the 10K passes both aid stations twice.

This event is non-competitive.  There will be a clock running, but performance awards will not be given.  Competitive runners are encouraged to self-time.  All participants will receive a commemorative coin.  All participants and volunteers will be eligible for prizes in a raffle.  Fruit and beverages will be available after the race.
