This event will begin with a mass start on a grass straightaway near the road before turning right along a field and into the woods. The trail will wind along beside a small steam before turning left onto the North Meadow Loop. At the end of this loop runners will turn left onto the Main Loop Trail and descend to the river.
After reaching the bottom of the hill, racers will run along a gently rolling trail near the edge of the Mon River before climbing back to the hilltop via a challenging stretch of trail we are calling "The Stairmaster Section." Once on top again the trail narrows at points as you rip up twisting single track along the edge of the bluffs before returning to a massive open field to the finish. This race has a variety of beautiful terrain sure to challenge racers of all abilities.
