The Marathon Cross Country will be limited to 300 racers. Last year we sold out, so register early!

The Course

The cross country course is a 48 km loop with 1500 m vertical. The course record held currently by Roland Green is 2 hr 13 minutes back in 2005. The average time to complete is 3 hr 30 min. The loop is considered to be nontechnical and combines approximately 40% double track, 10% single and 50% logging road. Excellent lungs and legs are a requirement as well as the love for climbing. The cut off at the 2nd feedstation has been shortened to 3 ½ hours.
