Take the Coopers Rock State Forest exit off I68 and head south toward the over look.  Park at the first parking area on the right and walk a short distance up the main road to the Iron Furnace Rd.  Sign ups, breakfast, shuttles, and prizes can be found at the gate. The course is closed to traffic so a shuttle is provided to the start line.
