Course Details

The course will be a 2.36 mile loop with 780 feet elevation gain. Starts at the garage, does a 1/3 mile loop around pond, two tiered climb to berry mountain ridge line, and back down two dirt/rock roads to start finish point. Consists of about 85% rocky dirt logging roads, 14% singletrack primitive trail, and 1% or less blacktop (basically the driveway). Will have a water/electrolyte/snack cache after the big climb at summit 1.1 miles into the loop as well as the fully stocked start/finish aid station

Aid Stations

My goal with this event is to give the best variety and value for $50 as possible! Coffee, donuts, bacon, and fruit to start the day. Chips, pretzels, candy, pb and js out all day. Making pizzas around lunchtime. Dinner will be grilled chicken, sausages, and baked Mac and cheese. I will also have ice cream, popsicles, sodas, seltzers, alcoholic and N/A beers. The main aid station will be at the start/finish point at the garage. Will have fans, chairs, and a pop up canopy for shade. The hose will be hooked up to rinse off, and you can feel free to swim in the pond! There will be a small water/electrolyte cache with a few basic snacks at the 1.1 mile mark after the big climb. Please bring your own handheld or silicone cup to help cut down on waste.
