Join us for the last training run leading up to the Mingus Madness 50k. This will be an out and back run of the entire Woodchute 102 trail, down to where it ends at Forest Road 318A (where the second aid station is). This is a rough trail, so being able to scout it ahead of time should be very valuable! We’ll also be hitting my off trail “secret spot” on the mountain before making the big descent, which is also part of the course. Expect 13 miles and about 3,300’ of climbing and descending.
