Ratings:
Runners can expect technical terrain and rocky footing that cuts to the chase, with some trails heading steeply uphill rather than zig-zagging at a gentler grade. Descents end in wooded hollows before the next rapid climb ending with a breathtaking view. Make no mistake: this will be a tough test of off-road endurance.

Registered will be able to get special price of The North Face ?
Choose you distance wisely and train for it. This race has had tight cutoffs the past two years it has been run. The terrain is varied and challenging, very pretty. Everyone I know who has run the race, even when victims of the cutoffs, has said it is very well organized. I hike and run here often so personally am not interested in paying a race entry fee for the privilege
I'm thinking of doing the 5 or 10k what are other people doing?
I have done the half marathon the past 2 years. Great course. I'm thinking about doing the full this year.
