An almost entire winding uphill race. I was expect some downhill or level ground but you won't find that until the very end. It is actually 3.3miles so it is a little longer than a normal. Very narrow trails so don't try to pass unless you are sure and let them know you are passing. Couldn't wear headphones this time for safety reasons. I really like the people that run this event and the medal is great! Third place this time!
