Course format

Trail 1 mile built for rhythm

This looks more like a settle-in road race than a course that wins by terrain alone.

Elevation profile

Mixed terrain profile

Footing and climbing matter here more than one exact elevation number, so plan for effort swings.

Pressure point

Late-race heat exposure

If the day warms quickly, the smartest move is usually protecting the middle miles instead of chasing pace too early.

Weather bias

Heat risk

Average race-day highs reach about 88F, so pacing and hydration matter.
