Description:

Whispering Pines has something for everyone of all ages, all abilities, all speeds, walkers, and runners. The 12-Hour Run/Walk is from 7am until 7pm and the 6-Hour Run/Walk will start at 9am until 3pm. The course will follow a 5-mile trail loop beginning and ending at the Pavilion by Parking Lot B and the playground. There is parking and restrooms near the pavilion and additional parking nearby. Participants will run and/or walk the loop as many times as they want during the timeframe.

The course will be marked with directional arrows at the turns and orange flagging ribbon. There are many trails in the park, so it is important to pay attention to the course markings. It is entirely on both single-track and double-track trails with the exception of two paved roads within the park that are crossed each loop. The trails wind through the woods and are shaded, packed sand or pine-needle covered, with some gentle ups-and-downs. At the completion of each loop, participants should cross the timing mat.

Participants choose how long or how far they want to go, and they get credit for whatever distance they complete. Runners can take a break at any time, leave the course, return, and run some more, just let the race timer know what you are doing.
