Course Description
Clearly our most difficult and challenging course yet. We set out to make a route that would be inspiring enough to make most entrants stop and consider all of the risks and rewards associated with this type of terrain and elevation change before clicking through to register. Here you have it. More than a half marathon and plenty of ups and downs. There will be hydration stations along the way as well as plenty of areas to hop in a support vehicle. But we hope you don’t. Training will be your friend. Hill training to be precise. We are excited to host you and make this a memorable event.
