Course Description: Tire Sealant is strongly recommended! Choose where to pass wisely as goatheads are prevalent. The fast 10-mile loop that encircles Bear Creek Lake Park features a taste of all types of terrain, with four short climbs, rolling hills, lots of singletrack and exciting descents. There will be a neutral support feed zone at the end of each lap. The Start/Finish venue will be at Coyote Crossing. The race course will be open to other users during the race (hikers, horses, kids, dogs, etc.) so please be aware, use caution, and most of all be respectful so we don't lose this great venue. There will be signage to inform others that a race is in progress, but you never know who could wander on course unknowingly. Please be courteous, communicate to each other, and use good sportsmanship. Help each other to have fun out there! Course Map (jpg)
