Course Description
The course will be a 5 mile trail race taking part mostly in shaded woods on single track hiking/biking trails. It will begin near the event grounds and progress up a grassy path into the trail system. The trails are mostly smooth with a few minor stonewall crossings as well as some natural drainage dips. The terrain will be relatively hilly by climbing up some 280 feet twice in the race before being rewarded with fast, flowy downhill sections.
