If you are up for a challenge this race is for you. 6.6 miles...3,165 feet of elevation, and a 48% slope. There are 2 aid stations, bring your own electrolytes. There are no port-a-potties on the course.
Why did I give this 5 starts? Great course, elevation changes, terrain changes (dirt, rocks, gravel, grass, trails), unbelievable scenery, and the "Upper Walking Boss". Yes the Upper Walking Boss lives up to it's name and then some. 1k leaving you questioning why you did this. And once you climb this 48% slope you will be wanting to go back next year.
Great price, a scenic gondla ride down the mountain, and food and drinks post race.
$35 to enter and if you want a shirt it's $15. I recommend you purchase the shirt.
If you have people who want to watch you run it's $10 per person to ride the gondola.
You catch the gondola near mile 5. So there is some walking (both up and down hill).
This was my first trail run (never ran a trail before this). Average slope 14%. I hope to see you next year.
