Course Overview

General DWD Course Information: It's run on single-track, gravel road, grass, paved trail, golf course cart paths and even some off-trail.

Is the trail as tough as advertised? Yes and No. It’s no run down a nature trail (but at times it is just that!) Some big hills but no supplemental oxygen is needed. Our descriptions are a disclaimer. All in all, a great run in a beautiful environment...with stupid spots to make it memorable, but it is a run, not an obstacle mud run race..

Aid Stations & Drop Bags

Mandatory Check-in (50M, 50K): Inform the Station volunteers of your arrival by shouting out your bib number. It is vital that we record your race number. Some stations are visited more than once, let volunteers know which one you're reporting

Aid stations will be stocked with water, gatorade, assorted gu packets, soda, salty snacks, sweet snacks, and fruit....BUT if there is something you want that you simply cannot take another step without, you should make sure you bring it yourself!

Restroom facilities are available intermittently along the course.

There is one drop bag location: Meadow Aid: 50M - 10/13/35/38 miles, 50K - 10/13 miles, and Marathon - 10/12 miles

Identify Drop Bags with your name, number or other identifiers. Deliver Drop Bag to the designated “Drop Bag Depot” for each aid station. Please, no black garbage bags, too easy to get put in trash!

Find bag in Live Drop Depot. If you’re going to reuse on later visit: Reinsert in Live Drop Depot. If done and ready for shipment to finish, place in DROP DEAD BAG zone, it will be taken to the finish. If not in Drop Dead zone, delivery could be delayed or require self-pick-up at Meadow Aid.
