The Course

Expect flowing singletrack, winding forest trails, rooty technical sections, and plenty of elevation to keep things interesting. Every loop combines fast, runnable stretches with short, punchy climbs that reward determination before opening into scenic recovery sections beneath the forest canopy. Because the course travels through private property, maps will be released shortly before race day.
