After the road you will follow the signs into the trails taking you into the hills.The trails switch back up the hills on a rolling climb around the hills for about 6 miles before following a rolling trail on the backside of the hills just below the ridge line. Between mile 10 and 11 you will find aid station 2.
Aid # 2 to Finish
From aid station 2, you will begin a rolling descent back to the fairgrounds and the finish line.
