Beautiful setting for this race, in the hills to the west of Bend. Weather was perfect for the 2023 edition, but since it was extremely dry, the first couple of kilometres of the trail were very dusty. The dust kicked up by the hundred or so runners ahead of me made it appear foggy.

A Excellent Run
The race was virtual. There were no aid stations. The race is recommended. The race could be improved with more runners. A unique aspect is the course. MORE
