Start is at the Punxsutawney Community Center. Course is up and down hills,
along country roads, on trails, logging roads, pipeline rightaways, and across streams. The finish is downtown at the Punxsutawney Community Center. The course will be marked with white paint on rocks, the ground, or grass, with major changes of direction marked with fluorescent orange paint. Alcoholic beverages will no longer be served at the top of Two Beers Hill at Mile Marker 29 to cut back on the number of runners losing their way to the finish line. Race participants usually face a mild warm up in temperatures before finishing and may expect variable humidity running in the woods. Conditions are unpredictable and pre-race precipitation varies from year to year, so be prepared. Support personnel will sweep the course following the race to pick up trash (please be kind)
