Why you dream of this race

THE DREAM

ABOUT THE RACE

A day you'll remember,
long past the finish line.

A mix of pine-needle-covered single-track, winding downhills, and old stone steps built by the Civilian Conservation Corps.

Heading into the park is uphill, and the return trip is downhill, so runners should prepare for the elevation change.
