THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW...

* This is a TRAIL RUN... over the river (Augusta creek), through the woods, the mud, the dirt, possibly some horse poop, up and down hills, over logs, etc. etc. The trail is NOT completely flat.

* You probably do NOT want to wear your best shoes, in fact, should your shoes get so gross you don't want them back, we will have shoe donation drop boxes on hand!
