In 2011, unprecedented rain forced a last minute course change. Well organized, small event with only 20 finishers. The course was tough and hilly. We had 7 creek crossings, and at times were running up the trail that had turned into a stream coming at us. My GPS had the course at about 19 miles, but with the canyons and trees I'm not sure if I got a signal all the time.
The race has a good vibe. (about: 2009) Course: 3

The race has a good vibe. But it is very dangerous and has very inaccurate distances. The landscape is very beautiful when you can admire it.

It was a fantastic, hard, challenging, exhausting, very hilly, beautiful, sometimes dangerous run, if you can call it that. I call it more a serious uphill hike with stretches of running. Would like to have had two more aid stations, one at top of Griss Mill and at 3-mile point of the 6-mile loop.
