The course is generally set up as a large and open spectator-friendly one-mile loop. The course is all grass and dirt and is considered “flat and fast" and features a stadium-style finish and the adjacent G.W. Bailey Amphitheater for awards.

Payment may also be made online through Direct Athletics. All entries should be completed online through Direct Athletics at DirectAthletics.com. Registration closes on Tuesday, September 9 at 5:00 p.m. There are no “unattached” competitors - all runners must be part of a competing team.
Team Parking Area: Teams will have assigned parking in Lot V (adjacent to Public Safety building). Signage will be in place to direct vans and buses to the appropriate lot.
Packet Pickup/Bibs: Team packets with race numbers, timing information and starting box assignments will be distributed in the G.W. Bailey Amphitheater beginning at 4:30 p.m. If bibs of teams entered runners who do not compete are not turned in to the timer prior to starting, then those runners are considered DNF. Entered competitors must be declared DNS prior to the race starting to prevent entered runners from starting then pulling out of the race.
