This is it!
 
This is where you choose your course, and find exact directions to the starting area.

We won't tell you which course is "easier" than the others, or how "instructionally gifted" each of the course narrations are.  We can only tell you that you will have fun!
 
Choose only one course and download all of the instruction segments for each course, and upload them from your computer to your MP3 device.  While running on your course, you will encounter token buckets.  You will need to grab a token from each bucket for your course to validate your exceptional listening abilities, thereby completing your course correctly.
 
If you are "IPod Challenged" and cannot figure-out how to download the attached files, you can run with someone who has an IPod, but you should be wearing a shirt that has the words "I'm with Stupid" written on it. 
(Thanks, Roxanne).
 
Remember, this is supposed to be a FUN event.  If you find yourself feeling frantically frustrated, just breathe deeply, replay the segment and enjoy your surroundings.  You'll do fine.

Courses:

Lumbering Luddite Course
This course proves the old saying -- "If you're gonna be stupid, you
better be tough."  This course was designed and narrated by our own lumbering, rock-banging Luddite, Gary Henry.  (Please don't lynch him immediately after the event).  We won't say whether it is a hard or an easy course, just that it's approximately 3+ miles long.  You will have to upload all of these instructions, numbered 1 to 13, for each section of trail.  Have fun!

Mud Babe's Revenge Course
Mud makes you beautiful, so this course will offer runners a drip or drop
of mud here and there. May also make you want to take revenge on someone
-- probably the person who designed the course.  (The narrator was just following this nameless person's instructions).  You will have to upload all of these instructions, numbered 1 to 11, for each section of trail.  Have fun!

Clinton Cornfusion Course
I can neither confirm nor deny that the course designers got disoriented
and turned around several times while trying to figure out this headache.
Still, the name is what it is, eh?  It may be easier than you think.
You will have to upload all of these instructions, numbered 1 to 16, for each section of trail.  Have fun!
