The single 8.2-mile loop starts and finishes at Sky Country Trailhead.
The course begins heading up Clay Pit Road and shortly connects with a mix of wider and moderately hilly single-track trails. Although not highly technical, the course does involve negotiating logs and potentially unsteady footing over rocks and roots. The course is slightly muddy in areas, but the majority of the trails are in great shape and very runnable!
This course includes the entire 5-mile route, plus an added out-and-back to a loop of the Shy Bear and Deceiver trails, including a notable climb on the way out of the loop.
There will be one aid station around mile 3 that will provide standard trail run snacks--cookies, gels/chews, fruit, candy--water and electrolyte drink.
