Welcome to the 2023 Race to the Cave Half Marathon / 10K! The race starts in a beautiful valley with picturesque mountains and fields in the background. Once runners get to the 11.9 mile mark they will enter the crown jewel of caves in the Southeast. The portion of the Half Marathon course that runs through the cave is an out and back 0.6mi that is wide enough for 2 way traffic. Runners will pick up a glow stick at the turn around point and the decorative lighting will be on at all times. The average temperatures for race day are a low of 43F, high of 66F. Meanwhile inside the cave the year round temperature is a cool 58F. This will truly be a race like no other.
