Kickin Assphault 10k Route Description 

This event will start at 6:00 a.m. in Giant Springs Park.  Runners will travel approximately ½ of a mile before the first hill, which is approximately ¼ of a mile long.  Shortly after the top of the hill, this trail joins the main River’s Edge Trail at which point the participants will take a left and go into the tunnel under Giant Springs Road.

The trail will be followed past the FWP Headquarter Building and Heritage State Park (the eventual end of the event) past the first bathroom opportunity at approximately 1.75 miles.  At mile 2.4, the second hill starts, which will be approximately ½-mile long.  At the top of the hill, participants will cross Giant Springs Road past a parking lot where the aid station will be.  There is also a bathroom available at this location. 

Runners continue past the aid station where the trail starts to go down hill.  At the bottom of this long hill, there is a circular cement pad where the asphalt ends, which is the turning point.  Runners sprint back up the hill, past the aid station, across the road, down the hill and 1.5 miles to the Heritage Park where there are refreshments and massages waiting.

At 9 a.m we will start the final leg of the Kid's Half-Marathon. During the month of June, participants are responsible for completing 12 miles to be run in 1-mile increments. On packet pickup day, kids are to turn in a mileage log of those 12 miles prior to receiving their packet. On race day, they will toe the line to complete the 1.1 miles needed to complete the kid's half-marathon. Registration

This will start at 9 a.m. for a total of 1.1 miles.  This is not a timed event.  For a registration fee of $15, participants will receive a T-shirt, a finisher’s medal and a donation to River’s Edge Trail.  This event was originally intended for kids but anyone is invited to register and have fun.  The fee will increase to $20 after May 15.   The 1.1-mile distance is limited to 100 entrants between the Kid’s Half-Marathon and the fun run. (This race is intended for kids ages 14 and under).
