Itinerary:

This is a trail running event on hilly terrain.  We will walk a little bit around the bluffs portion however.  We'll cover ~5 miles in 1 hour and 15 minutes(or less).


We will meet at the trail head parking area off of Dobbs Drive which is off of Oxbo Road.  Turn onto Dobbs Drive off of Oxbo, then go up the hill.  Soon you will come to a parking area on the right that has a few spaces for day users of the trail.  See the red circle (well it's kind of a circle anyway.  Looks more like a house) in the map shown. Look for the brown signs that says "Bridge and Trail Parking".

We will start at event start time on the nose or earlier if everyone gets there early.

This trail run skirts an outer loop of the trails going in a clockwise direction, so after crossing over Big Creek, we hang a left immediately after the bridge and keep to the outer loop.  But you just can't take every left turn to stay on the outer loop, so be mindful of our turns.
