All three courses will start at the Priest River Park on High Street and will meander along the Pend Oreille River. There will be water stops at the one and two-mile markers; 8K runners will pass by these stations again during the third and fourth miles.
Full registration runners will also have a huckleberry pancake breakfast included with their pre-registration costs.
