You should be enjoying your National Wildlife Refuge without headphones/earbuds. We understand 13.1 miles is a long ways! 

Please be courteous of other runners and wear just one earbud so you can be aware of your surroundings, like a passing runner or a ghost chasing you!

No, while we love our furry friends our insurance prohibits dogs and animals participating.  For the safety of participants  dogs are prohibited during the race. Walking dogs on leash at the Refuge is allowed.

We are capped at relatively samll numbers because this is a National Wildlife Refuge. The event cap is 100 partcipants between the Half Marathon and Relay.

Participants must be at least 12 years old to particpate in the Relay and 14 years old to do the solo Half Marathon.

No, the course is not certified. Not quite a road race, not quite a trail race either. Wheel measuring or using a Jones counter on gravel road such as this course on the interior gravel road network would prove troublesome and innacurate. The course is approximately 13.2 miles measured by GPS watch and vehicle spedometer. We promise its not short!

Results are posted live throughout the day on Webscorer.com

YES! We present awards to our Top Male, Female and Non-Binary particpants in the Half Marathon and Relay. We also present awards to 10 year Age Group winners, and best costume. 

The Race Organizers  hold the right to  make adjustments to awards without notice.
