| Trail Run |
Trail Run: 4.1-miles
The Trail Run is a seperate event from the triathlon and provides an
off-road option that is less committing than the full triathlon. The 4.1-mile
course will trace most of the first lap of the mountain bike course, marked
on the bike course map below. We expect all racers to finish before the
start of the triathlon.
