The new half marathon course utilizes about 2.5 miles of the Fox River Trail from Forest Junction to Ott Rd on the return. The trail is primarily crushed stone.  The majority of the course is blacktop road, several  blocks of concrete in Hilbert and about 2 blocks of small gravel roadway & some grass in Forest Junction.  Both the 5K & Half courses cross a single set of RR tracks on Irish Rd. about .85 miles from the start & on the return.

Chip Timing Pick-Up Info
Both the 5K, Half Marathon & Relay events are recorded using chips attached to the entrants bib whether you are running or walking. The timing technology we are using is the MyLaps BibTag system. The bib must be worn on the front chest at the start line & finish line or you will not be recorded in the results. They may not be folded or crumpled.  If so they could be damaged and not work. We do not recommend wearing the bibs on one’s shorts because it is easy to crumple a bib there. Chips & bibs are yours to keep and do not have to be returned at the end of the race. Those running the first half of the relay must remove their bib/chip before returning to Hilbert to avoid disqualification.

Packet Pick-Up Info
Packets will not be mailed. Packets must be picked up at the Village Hearthstone Restaurant tent, 326 Main St, Hilbert WI: • Friday, August 24, 5:00pm-8pm • Saturday, August 25, 6:30am-8:00am • Packets will contain bib number with attached chip. • Race packet may be picked up by third party if copy of entrant’s I.D. is presented.
