Conditions:

This trail course is IN an actual sunflower field.  Pathways will be cut out and runners will be expected to stay on the pathways.  Violators will be disqualified.  

All attempts will be made to keep the trails as safe as possible but uneven ground should be expected and wet/muddy conditions can occur.  Please be prepared.
