This was a very small marathon with only 11 finishers. The course consisted of two loops on mountain bike trails around Lake Harmon. The course was scenic with trees in the draws showing their fall colors. There were a lot of short out and backs around the draws that fed into the lake, and at the back of the lake, the trail looped back and forth several times away from the lake and uphill. I would describe the course difficulty as moderate for a trail marathon. I took it easy as I had a more important marathon the following weekend, and it was definitely reflected in my finish time.
