Organiser's Description
This is the Roanoke Valleys most unique event. The course will take you through 3.6 miles of the Explore Park. Following the successful Mountain Bike Nationals XCO event, we finally got out to the Explore Park to see what we could put together for our 19th Into the Darkness. The course will be totally different this year and we'll be running the XCO course in reverse. The course consists of .25 miles of asphalt road before putting you on twisty rolling single track for the rest of the event. The trails will be marked with reflective arrows, glow sticks, and the occasional surprise (nothing scary, this is a family event). Every effort will be taken so that you will easily be able to find your way and stay on course.

A light source is mandatory; it is recommended that you have at least a headlamp or flashlight. I personally think it is best to carry one of each. A headlamp to see where you are going and a flashlight to cast shadows and give you depth perception (easier to see those sneaky roots and rocks). We will leave this up to your personal preference. It is recommended that you try your choice of light source under similar conditions prior to running the race.
