The last race in the Winter Warrior Series! This fun run is a perfect choice for a recovery run after Lovin the Hills or to gear up for warmer weather. The course takes you across the old bridge into Rose Island where you will pass the different sites of the old amusement park, then back through the wooded trails to the finish. Complete all of the Winter Warrior Series to earn your Warrior status. Deam Lake Winter Warrior Waverly Winter Warrior Ol' Silty Winter Warrior Rose Island Winter Warrior Instructions to Start / Finish Line: When entering the park at the Main Gate you will turn right at the "T". Rose Island is at the far end of the park, so you will drive all the way down this park road until you reach the boat ramp gates which are closed due to the ramp being closed for the winter. Take the Left and you will arrive in the parking lot at the trail head. Please be courteous and safe when parking. Fill the parking lot and any over flow parking should be only along the guard rail side of the road in case emergency vehicles need to pass through. Awards We will have awards for Overall Male and Female finishers. Age groups will be posted on RunSignUp for bragging rights. All finishers will receive a unique Rose Island Wooden Ticket.

Aid Station We will have an aid station near the finish area with plenty of snacks and water refill station. Just a reminder our trail races are cupless. Please bring your own water bottle or hydration vest. This greatly reduces litter and waste from our trail events. Course Description For any of those who have ventured out to Rose Island before know just how steep the road down to Rose Island can be to run, hike, walk or crawl. Taking that into consideration we have opted to utilize Trail 3 to go down to Rose Island and return back to the finish from Rose Island. Turn-by-Turn: Starting from the parking lot we will head out onto Trail 4 staying to the left at the Y. This is a closed loop trail with no connectors so enjoy this 2.9 mile loop with some great views to start the race. As you return from Trail 4 you will turn left on the pavement for a few hundred feet to Trail 3. This trail follows along the water down the hill dropping you off at the bridge. Cross the bridge to Rose Island and stay to the right following the loop around Rose Island. Once you complete the Rose Island loop you will cross the bridge and turn immediately right onto Trail 3. Once at the top of Trail 3 you will turn right on the pavement heading into the finish. Your total distance is about 6.5 miles and 700 ft of elevation. Packet Pick-Up Saturday at Ken Combs Running Store from 1 PM to 3 PM. Kim will be at Ken Combs with your race packets, store items, and if you have already completed 3 of the 4 races your Warrior Gear as well.
