Trail Series Race: Everyone is welcome to run.  Races are stand alone events.

LINK TO COURSE MAP (old course... missing the new loop but will give you a very good idea): http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=887901

This trail run is semi flat with challenging footing (roots and rocks) with two solid climbs in each loop.  The race will start with a nice field start into a .9 mile gravel trail onto the some wonderful single track along the top of the cliffs above the Little Miami.  After a quick and steep downhill into the gorge, we will stay on the flat and fast side (no bridge crossings for you old timers: no "The Darkside").  The course becomes even more technical along the river until you reach the "big climb".  This is a rocky staircase of quad pain.  After bounding up the climb, a quick downhill into another climb... you get to do it all again.

Mileage is around 10 miles.

Trail Scale: 7 of 10 (rocky footing)
