The trail is not maintained (non-existent) in some places. Expect to be scratched, muddied, and bruised. This race will keep you wondering…What was I thinking! And if the terrain was not enough, we threw in a hand full of special test sections, just to keep you guessing. To top it all off, we squeezed it all into the “toughest 4 miles in Clark County”! •All in all, a great run in a beautiful environment… with a few stupid spots. Protective eyewear is encouraged. Awards ceremonies, refreshments, & entertainment at the finish line.
