Armadillo Dash 5K Course ( see map below ) Out and back loop trail course using near parallel trail paths. Outbound section is longer in distance than inbound section. Water station placed near to the 5K turnaround point.

Big thank you to the members of NOMAMBO ( New Orleans Mountain Bike krewe ) who maintain the course on an annual basis.

DO NOTE that the trail course is a demanding course with quick turns, uphill and downhill sections of some 4-6 feet that may feel like 100 feet. There are several wood bridge crossing - watch your step if they happen to be wet. This course is NOT a mud run or specified as one. The condition of the trail be it wet or dry is pending weather. We do not, can not and will not alter the course with regards to mud, water. Run it as nature sets it.

Course is well marked ( orange directional signage, orange cones, race officials on course ) ,

There are several water - aid stations on course. Station materials include Kentwood Springs Water, Powerade. Please make use of nearby trash can or keep trash with you to discard at the next aid station. Please do not litter the run course. If for any reason you need to stop / quit running and need a ride back please do so at one of the aid stations on course . Should any participant notice someone needing aid, please mention this to the next available course volunteer.

This will be my 34th consecutive year to Direct a Trail Run at the Bonnet Carre Spillway in Norco. Thank you for joining us.. This and more information will be on display at the pavilion on the day of race. This event would not be possible without the superb support of the staff and volunteers with the Krewe of NORSI ( New Orleans Running Systems Road Race Management ) our sponsors and our friends with NOMAMBO
