The Race Course
The Alley Trail Marathon uses the park’s Alley Trail, a 2.2 mile looped route that circumnavigates the park and features a mixture of technical single track, flowing double track, rocks, roots, sand, and grass. The route begins and ends on a brief road section at the entrance to the park, where runners will have access to an aid station and drop bag.
Our event features both a half and full marathon distance. Both races start at 8:00am and have an 8 hour cut-off.
