Itinerary: | |||||||
This is a trail running event on hilly terrain. We will walk a little bit
around the bluffs portion however. The pace is defined as moderate on this
one, but this is a running pace. We're covering ~5.6 miles in 1 hour and 15
minutes(or less). There are places where we might open it up some and
go wide open. This trail run gets harder the farther we go, so be aware of
that and pace yourself for it. This trail run skirts an outer loop of the trails going in a clockwise direction, so after crossing over Big Creek, we hang a left at the next intersection. We will skip the out-and-back on the flat part by the creek but will do the out-and-back at the pretty waterfall. Finally, on the way back, we'll take the Trena path back to the bridge. | |||||||
