Course

The course is an approximately 10k loop starting and finishing in the parking lot of Harriet Hollister Spencer State Recreation Area. The course is mostly winding single track trail blazed for the S6 Endurance Mountain Bike Race. There is a good probability that there will be snow on the course. This means four important things:

• Bring good footwear options. Conditions at Hollister are likely going to be colder and snowier than even just a few miles away. Having traction available could be wise.
• Snowshoes are not an option. Despite the hallowed snowshoe history of the race, we are not insured or permitted for snowshoes.
• Be courteous to Nordic skiers. Most of the course stays away from ski trails, but make sure you stay off of any part of a trail that is groomed for skiing. If you see a skier, be especially friendly.
• Watch out for snowmobiles. There will be two crossings over the C4 snowmobile trail. Snowmobiles have the right of way at the crossings, or honestly any time a runner and snowmobile attempt to share the same space.

Food & Drink

There are no aid stations on course. Bring any water and fuel you think you will need for the race. There will be a modest selection of food and drink at the start/finish area, including: Warm apple cider, Skratch Hydration, Cold lemon-lime Skratch Hydration, Water!, Snacks and Gu gels. Post-race gathering will begin around noon at a location TBD. All athletes as well as friends and family are welcome to join us whenever you're able.
