The Routes: where are we going?
See https://www.plotaroute.com/route/2581383 for route details.
Start at the Bitter Creek set, near Stage Two. Head south around the rodeo grounds, then go north through Main Street and up through Boot Hill. Swing around the church, then head through the desert until turning south and heading past the High Chaparral set.
The one-milers will finish at the finish line arch, while four-milers will continue south and loop around the Rodeo Grounds and go through Main Street for another loop.
The four-milers will head out to the desert and do a big loop. Just after the two-mile mark, you'll pop onto a single track that winds south for about a half-mile. Coming off the single track, the four-milers will do an inner-loop on jeep trails. After about 300 yards on a single track, you'll pop out by the Rodeo Grounds, then finish with one more loop of Main Street and Boot Hill. Your finish will be a nice gradual downhill past the High Chaparral set, ending at the Bitter Creek stage.
The route will be marked with white flour arrows and flagging.
All distances are approximate. There will be a water station at approximately the 1-mile mark, though if it is a hot morning we may add a second water stop.
