EVENT NOTES:
This is only the second time we have recently run at the Holliday Park. The map has been substantially changed this spring, with new contours and detail along the White River. Come and experience very fast courses with a dash of forest sprinting. Due to park rules, travel in the forested areas of Holliday Park is on-trail only, which will be a good challenge for your route selection.
On advanced courses, there is poison ivy and a few nettles near the river. Wear leg cover if you have a strong reaction to poison ivy. Depending upon the weather, the lower parts of the course may be wet/muddy..
There will likely be restrooms open at the Nature Center and port-o-lets by the playground.
VOLUNTEERS:
Help is always needed with registration, start/finish, and control pickup. Please email info@indyo.org if you can help out at the meet. Thanks!
