The Dizzy Goat is a time race of either 3, 6, or 12 hours. During your chosen race, you try to complete as many 3.25 mile laps as you can, with a twist. Odd numbered laps are run in one direction, and even numbered laps, the opposite. In addition, there is about 600 ft of elevation change per lap, that may not sound like much, but it adds up quickly over multiple laps. Also, one of those hills goes up about 150ft in 1/4 of a mile. There are two stretches of pavement, but everything else is trail or grass running. The main aid station is at the start/stop point of each lap. The aid station is stocked with a bunch of food choices, my favorite always being watermelon! The volunteers will take your bottle and fill it while you munch. There are emts on site as well as a massage therapist and if I remember right, a chiropractor. There is also 1 manned and 1 unmanned water station on the course too. This is helpful for the first two events, (2013, 2014) have been held on some of the hottest days of the summer. That high heat (high 80's-mid 90's), humidity, and hills, really wear down on you more than you think.

The race boasts, and has some of the best volunteers around the racing circuit. A well known ultra-runner even encouraged me at this year's event and helped fill my water bottle! Parking is not a problem, and nice tech shirts with options to buy other memorabilia. But, be quick, this event has sold out both years!
