Course Info

5K Course Map and Elevation 5K course description - Start on a gravel road for a short out and back to get you warmed up. Then up a steep rocky trail that will test your lungs and legs but will get you on top of a ridge with gorgeous views and the aid station. A trail around the solar panels and then cruise back down a gravel road to finish. About 40% on gravel road and 60% on single track trail.


10K course description and course map - Start on a gravel road for a short out and back to get you warmed up. Then up a steep rocky trail that will test your lungs and legs but will get you on top of a ridge with gorgeous views and the first aid station. A trail around the solar panels and then the downhill fun section begins. A short descent down a gravel road which will lead you to a smooth, downhill trail in a protected canyon and right next to the turbines. You will feel like you are flying! At the bottom you connect to a rolling gravel road section and your second aid station. What goes down must come back up! Up a smooth trail with a couple of rocky sections and round the corner to the finish line! You did it! About 20% on gravel road and 80% on single and double track trail.

A trail around the solar panels and then the downhill fun section begins. A short descent down a gravel road which will lead you to a smooth, downhill trail in a protected canyon and right next to the turbines. You will feel like you are flying! At the bottom you connect to a rolling gravel road section and your second aid station. At the second aid station you will continue down even further on the pavement (about a mile and a half). Your third aid station starts a rolling, smooth trail section complete with fields of flowers and a salt lick for the local residents, some stream crossings, field crossings and always a little bit of uphill. Your last aid station before the final climb. What goes down must come back up! After some climbing you connect to a rolling gravel road section. Up a smooth trail with a couple of rocky sections and round the corner to the finish line! You did it! About 10% on pavement, 20% on gravel road and the rest on single and double track trail.
