Even though this is early summer, Capitol Forest can experience micro-climates. Be ready for everything from sun to mist to fast-changing weather patterns. Pay attention to the forecast close to race day. You can expect pleasant conditions but pack accordingly should weather change.

You know yourself best! We do want to see runners with the ability to carry fluids. Whether it be a running vest or a handheld bottle, aid stations will be along the route for you to refill bottles.

• Limited cell service throughout much of the course

• Trail intersections can come fast — stay attentive to course markings

• The final climb brings you to the high point of the Capitol Forest trail system before finishing

• Weather can shift quickly — pack layers/light shell

• Entirely runnable for prepared athletes — climbs are punchy but not endless

• No major technical exposure, but footing requires attention, especially when wet
