In 2021, we will not be hosting a pre-race dinner due to COVID-19.

There will be a very light breakfast available for runners only from 5:30 – 6:15 a.m. All special items or food must be provided by the runner. The race will begin promptly at 6:30 a.m. 

There will be three aid stations, plus the start/finish area for each loop. Each aid station will have the following:

• Replacement drink
• Soda
• Water
• A variety of food items

The 25K and 50K race has a time limit of 8 hours. 50k runners must complete the first loop within 3 hours 45 minutes to be allowed to continue into the second loop.  50k runners must arrive at aid station 3 in loop 2 (21.1 miles) within 5 ½ hours to continue the race.

The post race meal for runners is included in the registration fee. Additional meals can be purchased for $7/person upon race registration. 

All registration fees are non-refundable and non-transferable, whether to another individual or another race year. Switching from the 50k to the 25k is allowed until 2/1. No partial refunds for the difference will be given.

We are carefully monitoring the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and it’s effects on outdoor sporting events, gatherings and overnight lodging.

We have updated our refund policy for the 2021 Holiday Lake 25k and 50k. By January 15, if the race is cancelled due to COVID-19, we will give runners the option of a 100% refund (minus processing fees) or a deferment to the following year.
