Review
Submitted by TAlbright56: This is a good race overall, but the challenging terrain makes it a better race for more experienced runners. If you like steep inclines, then you will love this race. Keep in mnd that the course usually changes directions doing the 3 race series, so sometimes you start up the winding single track trail, and others you decline that same single track toward the end of the race. If you plan to race the course, do not get caught behind slower runners especially when the course is reversed and you begin with the early climb on the single track.

This is a fun race but pretty large for a trail race. There are a lot of good runners in this series so plenty of competition. Arrive plenty early. Parking is free but parking lots get progressively farther away. The starting area is a bit too cramped. It would be better if the start were more open. The trail begins with about a 10 foot wide path with wooden fence on either side, and it winds left to right, it’s hard to go even 4 people wide when running, so it can be difficult to get running room. After the first half mile, it’s not really a problem. The hills are very challenging. There are usually a bunch of hikers and bikes sharing the trails so you need to be on the alert. No medals or awards but shirts and a BBQ afterward. One note, if you do more than one race, all the shirts are the same from race to race, which is a bit annoying to have 3 of the same shirts at the end of the series. A different color each time or something would be nice.
