The Guv'nor
The core running season may be over but it’s not time to take it easy just yet. It's named The Guv'nor Frozen 50 for a reason. You not only have to take on Old Man Winter but "The Guv'nor" has quite a battle awaiting those who dare challenge her authority. With an average elevation profile of 136ft of accent per mile (across all distances), this relentless grind requires you to turn on your inner "Guv'nor" and enter the power struggle. Do you have what it takes to overthrow "The Gov'nor"?
