The Sticks

The course will be a combination of mowed pasture and dirt road.

The course will not be overly technical, but isn’t necessarily flat. It has rolling hills and the mowed pasture is uneven and challenging.

Participants will run the same 2-4 mile loop (exact distance TBD) as many times as possible in the time option that they choose.
