Big thanks to those of you that have participated in the past! Many thanks for your work and dedication!
The race takes place along the Eastern Continental Divide in and around Highlands NC, elevations 2500'-4600' in the Nantahalla Forest, very rough terrain, temperate rain forest and is a self supported race. While you must be a member of USARA a one day membership can be purchased for a nominal fee.
If you would like to participate and not race you are welcome, PM me to make those arrangements.
Our military racers have always done very well...
