This is a hilly route with some technical trails along the way. There’s only a small section of out-and-back in the middle. Check the course maps page for more info on the elevation gain. The 10k is two laps of the 5k.

Back of the Pack time: 13:00

What is the Back of the Pack (BOTP)? It is not a cut off time, it is actually a series we have geared towards people who average higher than the BOTP listed above. This allows runners of similar pace to compete with each other and get series points.
