Real runner feedback on course feel, crowd support, aid stations, and logistics (parking, hotels, restaurants).
This is a challenging course, especially for those new to trail running. Very small race so enjoy the solitude.
The finish is at the top of a long paved gradual hill. Train for it so you're not surprised when you come around the corner for that last 1/2 mile. Also, only one potty at the 1/2 way mark. Bring TP if you need to sneak off in the woods.
Small enough race that there's plenty of rooms/campsites available in town.
