WHAT: 4th Dawg Gone Long Run 50 Mile Trail Race  (COURSE MAP)  June 30, 2012 6:30a

WHERE: Caesar Creek State Park, Start/Finish - 50 Springs Parking Area

Cost: $25 no shirt (online until 06/28/11), $40 with shirt.  (No shirts guaranteed after June 14th).  $40 race day  (PLEASE Email a RD if you plan on using race day sign-up race... helps us get the right amount of aid).

Some of the best single-track around Caesar Creek lake south of SR 73.  The largest hill is about 80', however the elevation changes are substantial due to almost constant rollers. Approx 2900'of "rolling".

We will have 2 "manned" aid stations at the start/finish and at the Visitor Center Shelter turnaround. Any drop bags will be taken to the Shelter near the Visitor Center. These two aid stations will have Hammer Products, Water, Peanut-butter and Jelly sandwiches, Peanut-butter crackers, pretzel rods and an assortment of other products.

The other "unmanned" stations (we will visit them every 30 minutes or so) will have Water, Pretzels and something sweet... Fruit Snacks seem to be a favorite.  If you need to drop just stop at one of the aid stations and we will get you back to the start. We have custom awards for the top 3 male/female.

This year, we are offering Hammer Products.

SECTION (#1 and #3)  See Course Map for distances.

• • Start at the Fifty Springs picnic area and head down the old MTB / Skiing trails (passing the start area/aid station) and end up at SR 73  (Aid #1). About:  Old mountain bike loop that was abandoned until Andy and I reopened for this race.  Old woods with couple of tree jumps then a mostly downward slant though reclaimed meadows until a gentle climb up to Aid#1
  • Take SR 73 across the lake, hop the guardrail (watch your knees!) and head down the trail to Furnas Aid (Aid #2).  About:  Approx a .7 miles road running until a quick left over the guard rail and joining the main Yellow Trail.  This is pure single track but pancake flat.
  • From Furnas Shores continue to the day lodge (Aid #3) About:  You'll take a right onto a boat ramp and a few tenths of a mile later rejoin the yellow trail.  Rooty, slighty off-camber and fairly flat until the last mile or so before the aid station.  Mostly mature forest and shaded however, the longest section between aid.
  • From the Day Lodge travel to Shelter Turnaround and Aid station.
    About: The yellow trail continues through mature forest but the trail starts testing your calves with the largest rollers and technical single track.  Great views of the lake and the prettiest section of the course.
    
    REPEAT IN REVERSE
    
    

SECTION (#2)

• • From Fifty Springs to Boat Ramp Aid.  About:  Pretty flat though reclaimed meadows and forest sections.  Plus a section through an old pioneer village.
  • From Aid to Turnaround.  About:  Fairly flat with the largest creek crossing on the course to the turnaround.
    
    REPEAT IN REVERSE

Unique awards for top 3 overall Male / Female.
