10k

The 10k is an out and back course from the race Headquarters area.  The turnaround area will be a "water only" aid station at the Hwy. 53 Trailhead.  The course is half (or a little more) in the open prairie of the Bird Sanctuary, and the rest is in timber that is still designated as the Bird Sanctuary but sees more cover and trees.  This can be a great first trail race or first 10k distance.  The hills are mostly rolling, with one or two that are a little steeper.  It could also be an opportunity for a seasoned trail runner to run competitively as the trail is not super technical, and mostly rolling hills.  For the runners more like me, this 10k is a great course to get in some views and enjoy the scenery or the wildlife prairie and timber sections.

​​

Like all NCTRaces, the 10k is 100% on the North Country Trail and this section is all single track trail, there will be custom-made Finisher awards, and bigger custom-made awards for Top Three Overall Finishers in each division.
