Sandhills Course Description

• Course Map HERE – Elevation Gain Per 7.5 mile loop – 215 Feet

The course is a 7.5 mile loop that rolls through several sections north of the main trail but comes back to some beautiful and fast single track trails around the lake. The terrain consist of clean single track trails, wider softer trails, and some paved sections around the lake. The looped course runs through the parking lot so runners will be able to set up a 10 x 10 space for the duration of the event.
