Full Course Description

Start - Above Dowad on Jack's to 50 Shades

Race begins on Jack's trail above Dowad Drive - around the top of the Covenant Trail.

From the start on Jack's you'll make your way up to 50 Shades of Green (lower and upper), across Of Mice and Men to the first descent of the race - Rupert.

Rupert to Man Boobs

Descend Rupert then turn left on Mashiter and head all the way up to Man Boobs. Descend Man Boobs, then turn left on Bob Macintosh, then left again onto Alice Lake Access Rd, and climb all the way up to Lower Lumbar.

Lower Lumbar/All About Yew and across Northside Connector

After catching your breath, from the long gravel road climb, turn right and descend Lower Lumbar, and continue onto All About Yew, then turn left on North Side Connector. Take North Side Connector all the way across to the bridge, cross the bridge and continue climbing up the gravel road to the second exit and all the way across to the top of Angry.

Angry - Timed Descent, Sponsored by OneUp

Begin the OneUp Timed Descent all the way down Angry. The trail will be clearly marked and marshalled on race day. The timed descent ends where Angry meets the gravel road (i.e. North Side Connector).

Etiquette & Timed Descent Race Rule: If someone catches you, please move out of the way (this may require you to pull over and stop), as they are faster than you (otherwise they woud not have caught you). You need to let them pass (as soon as you can safely do so). This ensures everyone can race their race, be safe, and have fun!

Ode to JABR and the TOM: panning for the man and plunging for gold

After Angry, at the gravel road, turn left and proceed to and descend Another Man's Gold, then climb the Ring Creek Rip to the Power House Plunge. Descend The Plunge all the way to the first gravel road crossing, then turn right and climb to Somewhere Over There.

Somewhere Over There... is a finish line!

Make sure you're well fueled and still have your wits about you, as this climb and descent will surely tease out the cramps and demand your focus. Climb SOT and then head down the final descent of the race, at the gravel road turn right and follow Poop Alley, cross that final bridge over Ring Creek, then sprint (or crawl) up that one last short but loose climb, and cross the finish line!

Please note, course is subject to change at the discretion of race organizers.
