The description says it's a mix of fireroad/doubletrack/singletrack. Can anyone provide a ballpark of the percentages of each? Is it mostly singletrack?

Considering trying the 25k, but have never run the course, or the park for that matter. Thanks.

This event is awesome. I wish I could do it again this year, but KIDS stuff are in the way. Hopefully next year, it'll all work out.

Probably like 70-75% singletrack. It’s very rocky tech and not an “easy” course by any means.

Does anyone know if the gate into the State Park on the beach lot side will be open from the Highland Lakes? Would be nice to save 20min. off my commute. :)

Just ride your bike over and the gate won't be a problem :p
