About the Elsie Dairy Dash
The course runs through Elsie itself, a small town course the organizer calls fast and flat. It has a reputation as a PR-friendly route, and the terrain backs that up: no real hills to speak of, and the roads are measured carefully.
Packet pickup is available race morning, so there is no pressure to get there the day before. Stick around after the awards, because the race falls on the same day as a local festival and parade.
