5 Mile Course!
(New route for 2027!)
Get ready for 500ish ft of elevation gain on this fun and challenging lollipop course. The new route starts with an out and back down to the river where you'll traverse some huge rocks. You'll then make your way by the overlook and head down to some creekside single track. A steady climb brings you to the finish line as the 25k heads back into the woods. This course is a little shorter and less technical than last year.

Lots of elevation change, single and double track trail, and of course rocks. Aid around the 12th mile and make your way back to the finish! Around 1400ft of total elevation gain.
