The race follows established dirt road with some rocky sections and makes a loop on the mountain before heading back down to the Bluewater Canyon parking lot where you will finish. Stick around the finish area for a free fruit and beverage buffet or bring your own refreshments and towel and take a short half mile hike into the canyon where cold mountain water in the creek waits for you to jump in and cool off!
