After a post race prize drawing, runners can take the gondola down for free. The total distance on this race is 16 Miles of beautiful trails.

Aid Stations: One at the trail intersection of Fish Creek Falls Trail and the Mountain View Trail.

Mountain View Trail takes you over to the top of Mount Werner. The second aid station is at the top of Mount Werner. Runners should carry some water and some Honey Stinger (which will be provided at the race) or some type of energy food and maybe a shell in case the weather changes.
