From the Organizer

This race uses the entire ridgeline Price Mountain Trail and portions of the Patterson Creek Road and Trails area.  This is a tough rocky backcountry trail system that we've enjoyed and worked on since 2020.  Most recently we've put in over 100 hours on these trails, brushing them back, clearing them of downed trees, sticks and debris.  This race is something we've wanted to do for awhile and is part of the effort to keep these trails clear for years to come.  In addition, getting more "feet on the ground" will help with keeping these trails open and clear.
