Course Description:
Course loop is approximately 1.25 - 1.5 miles long and fast. Fast lap times will be slightly over 6 minutes. Mixture of grass* and pavement** • Off camber surfaces • Lots of tight turns • Obstacles per loop include one set of man-made barriers, short, deep gravel pit section, and one very steep uphill (probably faster to run).

*note that grass surface is VERY bumpy in some spots. Choose tire and tire pressure accordingly. Also be aware of several heavily rooted areas – pinch flat alert! A fat cross tire should do well on this course. (700x34-35c)

**WARNING: this course crosses the main park road twice per lap. Marshals will be present at all crossings, but please use caution at these crossings, and follow instructions of marshals.**
