The bike course includes several sharp turns; participants are advised to observe safe speeds. The 5K Trail Run is a gentle rolling course on trails along the lake shoreline with marked signs and friendly aid stations. Overall Champion prizes are offered for the first male and female finishers in each event, plus Top Three awards in each 10-year age group. Overall results will be posted for all finishers.
