Race morning pickup from 8:30am to 9:30am at the start area.

Parking
Downtown Leavenworth has several free lots within a block or two from the starting line. 

 
Aid Stations
There will be two aid stations with water and Gatorade that you will pass twice, at approximately mile 1 and mile 2.25.

Prizes
Our race will feature some local elite runners competing for prize money. We ask that walkers stay to the right of the course so that runners can easily pass. At start time, those who plan to run the course will start first, followed by those walking the course. The stroller division will start last.
