COURSE INFORMATION:

Starting at the visitor center, we travel across the dam first (.7 miles road with large gravel shoulder) to the spillway single track. A short climb into the gorge trail, to the creek crossing (you probably will get wet). You will run through a small village, run on an abandoned road, some nice old growth, and some ugly new growth. At mile 5.5 or so, you will hit SR73 for a 1-mile road run to the 6.5-mile section to the finish which is 96.49343% single track and rolling. Due to the season, weather can be a factor making the Frosty a real challenge.

AMENITIES

Homemade chili, as well as a vegetarian version, will be served after the race.

Aid station with water and energy drink at approximately mile 5.5.

Please be aware that to eliminate waste, paper cups will only be available at the manned aid stations (approximately 8 miles in). The unmanned aid stations will have water jugs but no cups. Please carry a water bottle with you. Energy drinks will be available at manned aid stations only.
