Lodging

Numerous options within a 20 minute drive, including some spots at the Start/Finish.

Terrain

Highly maintained singletrack trails that are rugged, rocky, steep, and densely forested. There’s lots of water crossings. Depending on rain, creeks could be completely dry or waist deep. Safety will always be considered. In a single mile, runners may cross a creek, climb a mountain, traverse boulders, and flow through smooth trail.

Aid

Aid stations for this event can range from 5 to 13+ miles apart. It offers both relief and requires strategy by the runners as they are not spaced evenly apart.

Standard Syllamo Events Menu:

Hydration: Electrolyte mix, ginger ale, Coca-Cola, and water

Sports Nutrition: various gels or chews

Solid Foods: Sandwiches, fruit, pickles, chips, candy (hard and/or chocolate)
