Hands down the best inaugural race I've attended. The attention to detail leading up to the race and continued assistance after has been phenomenal. Looking forward to next year!
John Burkle
The climbs are tough, the descents brutal and this is one of the best supported, most beautiful organized halfs I've ever done.
Rachel Ragona
This gem of a race has a perfect blend of challenging hills and beautiful, flowing singletrack to test both strength and speed. It was extremely well organized and well thought out by people who obviously love and understand trail running.
