About the Armed Forces Endurance Run
The course loops Bixler Lake Park on a path that mixes asphalt with natural trail, passing wetlands, wooded stretches, and a pair of beaches. It is a fixed-time format, so you run or walk as much as you want within your chosen window, passing the main aid station at the pavilion each time around.
Camping is available near the start area, with a free grassy option and a separate section with electric hookup for a fee. Packet pickup runs the evening before at the Lions Pavilion, which also serves as the aid station and start area, with a race-morning window as a backup.
