Course
Marked with reflective arrows at every turn. Vehicles should be at most trail interactions depending on conditions. Some turns will also be taped off. It should be very clear. It’s recommended to download the gpx and use GPS if you are not familiar with the tails.
Race will start on the GreenWay just South of the High School. It will proceed down the Hamburg Trail, past the DOE Containment “Mound”. At about 2 miles it will drop into the Lost Valley Trail and follow the double track and single track around counter clockwise.
It is a mix of crushed limestone, gravel, and dirt/rocky single track. Total distance is 13.5 miles.
