The trail crosses a creek on a small wooden bridge, includes a slight uphill section, and continues through woody areas and long rows of cedars. Parts of the course are technical single-track; other sections are wider grass and dirt trails that wind through pastures and woodlands. The course includes some hills and varied terrain characteristic of a trail run. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
