Course/Map
5k (1Loop) & 10k (2 Loops) Route
Aid Station
For this event we will have 2 aid stations. The first aid station will be at the start/finish which can be found after every 3.1 mile loop. There is a second aid station called Mid Aid station that will be passed halfway into loop. That being said, runners will find a consistent amount of aid support never going more than 1.5 miles without an opportunity to grab more nutrition or hydration.
Disclaimer: We are a CUPLESS EVENT! For those new to the trail running world/etiquette, we like to treat our venues with respect and do not use plastic or styrofoam to serve out water. Please bring your own cup, water bottle, hydration vest, or other form of water containment so we can help maintain the clean environment we are permitted to use for this event.
Volunteering
Come out and volunteer with us at Llano Grande! Every race that you have ever participated in has had a crew of volunteers to make it possible. Without the support of volunteers, races wouldn't exist! Take this opportunity to give back to your running community and sign up to volunteer!
