COURSE DESCRIPTION

“Capitol Forest is a “working forest”, so course revisions are possible to accommodate the “work”. For updates please check here.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Both the 50-mile and 25K start and finish from Falls Creek Trailhead. The race will feature some of the most rugged and serene single track trails and grinding sections of gravel road, and, depending on toss-of-the-coin for weather in April, spectacular views.

The 50-mile will include Capitol Peak to gaze from, and an out and back on the Porter Trail. The 50 mile will feature 7 aid stations, the first aid station will be water only with just a little food, so be prepared!

The 25 k will have 2 aid stations. Both the 50 mile and 25K, will complete the course on a serene, descent to the finish at Falls Creek Trailhead.
