Course description
The course is a simple lollipop route with 1,200 feet of vertical gain on mostly technical, single-track trails. Starting at the Copper City TH, runners will take Green Eagle North, then take High Ore Connector and continue up a steady climb on Lower High Ore to South Motherlode, forming a small counter-clockwise loop with Upper and Lower High Ore Trail. This loop will spit runners back onto High Ore Connector, backtracking on Green Eagle North back to the finish. We designed the course this way so that there is only one place where the course intersects.
