Like so many Run Wild Adventures races, it is a combination of picturesque surroundings and challenging terrain. It will be ran on logging roads and single track trails. Throw in a few creek crossings and you have yourself one heck of a race. You can check out a course map here, as well as a picture preview of the course here and an elevation chart too. There will be one aid station, so you may want to consider packing yourself some additional water or electrolytes.
Despite its difficult nature, don’t feel intimidated. All abilities are welcome and RWA is great at putting on a great race that caters to those elite runners and those just wanting to get out there and have a great experience.
The race is limited to 250 and is over half full at this time.
