Location: Narrows Town Park
The start/finish lines and after-party celebration will happen at the Narrows Town Park. There is limited parking near the park, so most people will need to park in town in designated lots and walk to the park. There will be signs and volunteers directing you along the way.
The park offers:

Pickleball courts
Creekside fishing
Basketball court
Picnic areas
Bag Check
We will offer a bag check at bib pick-up. Just have all your items secured in a bag, and we will provide a tag for labeling them. We will keep your items secured while you’re on the course.
Post-Race Food & Other Vendors
When you finish the race, you’ll be given a Wolf Pack Meal Voucher, which can be used for one of the following:
Wolf Pack Breakfast: biscuit made by Hometown Restaurant of Peterstown, fruit, and a drink served by Giles County Rotary
Be Happy Acai (for a vegan, gluten-free option)
Merch for sale
We will have a limited number of sweatshirts for sale at packet pick-up and on race day. If you want one, we recommend coming early and buying it before the race starts.
Sauna & Cold Plunge by NordicBliss
All participants and volunteers can use the mobile sauna and cold plunge from Nordic Bliss. Are you brave enough for the Wolf Creek Challenge - run/walk, dip in the creek, and hop in the sauna!? Whether you dip in the cold water or not, the warm sauna is a perk you can use before or after the race.
Live music
During the race and after-party, enjoy the tunes of Chas & Bill.
