Course Description
This race probably packs the biggest punch per mile- it's a favorite local loop! The gravel ski road leads you to the Superior Hiking Trail (SHT) at Knowlton Creek. You'll climb the winding and rooty westside of the creek to the top of Spirit Mountain. After a steep climb to Highline, you'll cross the ski area on singletrack to find yourself on Old Skyline Road before descending the SHT back to the finish at the chalet.
