This course has varied in dimension over it's 15 year history: it has been browned out once, it has gone from a Classical, off-road , to combi-course, to a 1 mile loop, lake race, to a 2 mile looped rolling hills course. People don't believe it when they arrive, it can be like a snowy oasis in the middle of a browned out desolate area. The course is sceinc and demanding: not the typical 1/3 hills, 1/3 flat, 1/3 downhills but pretty much 1/2 up hill, some roll outs and then roll-ups. Great training course.
