The 10K course takes a fun tour around the Flying V Trails with over 1,000 feet of climbing. Get a nice mix of single-track, two-track, and challenging climbs and fun downhills. This course has a little bit of everything. Again, looking to cover some miles but not wanting to run? All abilities are welcome!
Note: the 10K course will be marked with green flagging, on the right hand side
Even Years: runners will begin by going up Founder. This begins as a two-track but after about half a mile it turns into single track. Follow this to the top of the Wiggle. Drop down the Wiggle to Last Draw and follow this up and over onto HOD (Hold of Despair)…and yes, this trail has earned that name. You’ll see…after passing the junction with Chuckwagon climb up again and take a right on Salt Creek 2. This will take you back to Chuckwagon where you will turn left and go up to Jumbo. This is a fun, albeit short trail that drops you back down to HOD. Now to climb out of the hole. Up, Up, Up! Stay on HOD until you come to the junction with Beans and Hog Pen. Follow Hog Pen to the left and continue climbing! When you meet up with Upcast you will also find our frog pond. Listen for our resident frogs as they serenade you on your journey! Continue across the meadow on Hog Pen and climb up again towards the first aid station located at the junction with Breakneck and Never Sweat, as well as the aid station at about mile 3.5.
From the aid station you will turn left, and yes, you guessed it, climb, climb, climb! Follow Breakneck up to Doggie where you will continue straight and begin to descend, yeah! Follow Doggie down to Noose where you will climb back up to the junction with Never Sweat and then follow Never Sweat down to the finish!
Odd years: runners will the same course backwards, or counterclockwise.
