What is the course?
The route consists of a 2.6 mile loop that includes ~240' of gain and loss. From the upper Prescott Park parking area, the course follows the loop road that circumnavigates Roxy Ann Peak (an ancient volcano). The first .8 miles of the loop is gently undulating paved road. As it changes to gravel you climb more quickly before descending more gradually to the start. Along the way you will experience a 360-degree panorama of the Rogue Valley and surrounding mountains. Mt. Ashland, Mt. Shasta, Mt. McLoughlin, the Three Sisters, Mt. Thielsen, and the Table Rocks can all be seen from different places on the mountain. After 3 hours you change direction, and change back every 3 hours. A sample of the course can be viewed at https://www.strava.com/routes/2925589794225488400

Top 3 males and top 3 females in each race will receive awards. Buckles for 100+ miles!
