This is a certified looped course with 4 loops being a half and 8 loops being a full marathon. I ran the 6 hour race. This was the last weekend of December and we had snow flurries during the race but I thought that was perfect racing weather for an ultra. It was nice to have lots of being to run with for my first 4 loops. It got a little lonely during the second half of the race as most other runners were finished. There was one aid station that you passed twice during each loop, and many times the teenage boys working it were not paying any attention so I'd have to stop and pick up water or Gatorade from the table myself. Other than that, if you don't mind running the same loop a whole bunch of times, I'd definitely recommend this race.
