Designed by runners for runners
This course was thoughtfully designed by the race directors with one goal in mind: to create a route they themselves would want to run again and again. Every climb, descent, and stretch of singletrack was chosen to showcase the best of the Canyon—challenging enough to be memorable, yet so beautiful and rewarding that you'll want to return year after year.
