Great trail, this run starts out with a gradual uphill, I wasn’t forced to hike until several miles into the run and even then their were only a few spots of steep incline. The first downhill was long and fast about 2 1/2 to 3 miles or so. That really fried my legs leading into the second uphill section which has a bit of steeper incline. it’s pretty short but after that intense downhill I hiked a bit more and had my slowest pace time at mile 11 and 12. We were very lucky with temperatures in the mid 70’s and a nice breeze perfect morning for a long run. My performance was okay 23rd overall but I finished under three hours and I was super happy with that. The only downside for me was no medal at the end, I chose this run specifically for the unique Red Devil Challenge medal. This is only my third ever official run and my goal is to have 10 medals by the end of this summers running season. This was to be my third medal, I know it’s not the end of the world but a bit of a bummer. Anyway, an amazing experience and I very much appreciate all the effort that went into putting the event together. I would probably do this run again or if I can get stronger by next year maybe go for the 50K. Highly recommended run great experience!

Loved this race. Signed up again for 2021. This was my first 25k. Race starts with a climb and then come out on an open ridge with views of the mountains around you. Heads back down to the 9 mile aid station then one more shorter climb with a down hill finish Very pretty area. Looking forward to doing it again.
Very Challenging!

I was a little overconfident in my running abilities when I signed up for this race. This is a tough run, with about 3000ft of elevation gain! Only a couple of aid stations, so it’s a good idea to pack some water. The trail was in good condition. Much more fun than most road races.
