This was a beautiful, but very challenging course. Constant hills and lots of full sun, especially towards the end. Temperatures were high this year, which made it extra challenging. It was a very small race, but the t-shirts, medals, and post race food were top notch. It was not chip-timed, but it was small enough that gun time was probably just as accurate. It’s a little off the beaten path, but if you’re willing to get there and you’re up for a challenge, it’s a great race.
