Race Report:



COURSE: The new course for '09 is a mixture of fire roads and single-track, with a small amount of pavement at the beginning. To separate the field of runners, the race will start with .6 miles of road running then .2 miles of field running before diving into a short downhill single-track section.

After crossing the swinging bridge, the course opens up with just over 2 miles of fire road running. The 5 and 10 mile course splits at the end of the fire road running, taking the 5 milers south along a stream. After this point, the courses mostly consist of twisty single-track. Most of the single-track sections are fun and moderately technical.
