Make no Bones about it, this is a tough course- pun intended.
This run is to benefit the Hounds at Hanna organization, and dogs are welcome. There was tons of communication at the start of the race, music and a winter outdoor tent shops after with two food trucks.
This course is TOUGH. The map is up for it now but it was difficult to obtain the correct information on the course and its elevation. The beginning starts with a loop around the parking lot ( asphalt) and then around the community park to the trail, which is a STEEP downhill. The trail is winding from there with a slight uphill, then downhill, more uphill, downhill and another very sharp albeit short and steep uphill. Then back on the sidewalk and pavement to where the start/finish is, and repeat. I had to walk 3x during the uphills.
The awards went off quickly and they are super cute medals. Trophies for top 3 male and female ( I placed 2nd overall female!) The shirt is also cute! Spectators and organizers were super kind and positive.
