From the organizers
Course Description: Two race distance option with the goal being to have an option for people new to racing and/or trail runs by offering a shorter distance race (5 km) and a longer race for those looking for an extra challenge (15 km). There will be some prairie, some single track, some sand, some slick bridges, and of course some hills!
