Out of the start-finish area you will run a fast, flat section passing our covered aid station towards Camp Heidelberg pond.

Each loop has approximately 45m elevation gain. Be ready for any weather conditions, October can bring rain or snow. There is plenty of room to set up a drop bag at the aid station area.
