Course Description
*2026 Courses Coming Soon
Start. Runners head out the gently rolling dirt road for a mile until they take a sharp right turn for 0.3mi to the top of the hill. From there, the first Aid Station is visible and racers cross the cattle guard, staying on the road, and head down the steep hill to the Crossroads Aid Station.
Crossroads #1 & 2. Runners will head out from the Aid Station down the steep, rocky gully for a short distance until it flattens out but continues twisting and turning. Runners will reach a “T” in the road where they take a left hand turn. You will follow along the beautiful rim for a short time before heading up a steep ledgy section to Pizza Overlook. From there, you'll return to the aid station for a quick refresh before making your final push—ascending back up the hill to the cattle guard and cruising through the last mile of dirt road to the Finish Line.
