- Lord Hill Park has been a favorite for many trail runners in the Pacific Northwest as an early season trail run. Started by Tim Lofton and currently in its 13th year, the run starts and finishes at the south parking lot. Course distances available are 5 Mile, 10 Mile, 13.1 Mile, 20 Mile, and 50K. The courses will be well marked with streamers and arrows at intersections. About 1/3 of the course is fire road and 2/3 is single track.
The start of the race will be at the south parking lot of the park. There will be fully stocked aid stations about every 5 miles, giving runners plenty of fuel for the course. We will have water, Nuun, Clif product, PBJ sandwiches, fruit, cookies, crackers and pretzels. At the finish there will be hot vegetable soup and chili, plus other goodies to enjoy after the race.
The 5 Mile loop has 750 feet of elevation gain.
