This race begins in the awe-inspiring valley of Cathedral Caverns State Park along Cave Road. After a couple of quick twists and turns, runners will find themselves back on Cathedral Caverns Road before reaching the highway. Expect the first five miles of this course to be largely in descent! Once you reach Thomas Line, however, the slow but persistent ascent begins, with the largest being from mile 7.2-8.7.
Ending with a 1.2-mile straight shot to the finish through the Cathedral Caverns, aka, A CAVE, this race will leave lasting memories for every runner, unlike any other half marathon event out there on offer. Throughout the course, aid stations will be plenty, providing runners with everything from water and Gatorade to the ever-necessary Gu Gels for those in need of some additional energy! There are free pulled pork sandwiches along with chips and a drink for all those who’ve finished this decadent race course. Of course, you’ll walk away with a commemorative finisher’s medal too. In order to get that finisher’s medal, however, runners must cross the finish line in under four (4) hours to qualify as an official Race to the Cave Finisher.
