Rocky trail with potential for mud
Detailed course description:
- Lots of steep, but short climbs (250-300ft) on this course spread throughout.
- Some climbs described as so steep that you need to use your hands on roots to pull yourself up. In other words, it likely isn’t all runnable!
- Has been very wet and muddy in past years, causing last minute course changes.
