Things to know:
The course is a technical and challenging 2 miles with three hills packed closely together.
o Dollys Descent (near Spotter 1) leads to the lowest point on the course. It has numerous exposed roots and rocks requiring attention from the runners.
o There will be a combination of Off-road/woods and asphalt sections of the course.
o It will start and finish in the baseball fields located just off the Old Alabama entrance. This provides great spectating.
