The Event was fun. The pre-race details and directions were clear. The post race offered fresh fruit , water, juice and other snacks. The trail is challenging. It’s mainly a packed dirt bike trail. First 2 miles up hill and curvy. Last mile or so downhill and curvy. It is tricky a mountain dirt trail. Mainly clear track but you have to watch out for roots, uneven ground and the occasional protruding rocks. No water stops this year but this was my first year. Be prepared with an energy gel and water pack. Very humid in June so hydrate. I’ll run it next year because of the fun and challenge of the event.
