You will run one loop as fast as you can.We also have the Benjamin Buford Blue, but people just call it The Bubba. A fantastic 9K loop that should get you well acquainted with the forest.

The Bubba is a one loop run.And for no particular reason, you may decide to go for a little longer run. You can complete one loop of the Jenny. And when you get done, you can do a loop of the Lieutenant Dan. And when you finish that, you run the Bubba.
