Course
|
The course begins under the backdrop of the magnificent Sutton Dam at the Downstream Recreation Area. A challenging climb up the face of the dam takes you to the top of the dam where you'll race across and then head down through the woods. You'll race back down to the Elk River where you'll hit the brick paved streets of historic downtown Sutton past many beautiful, majestic buildings. The finish line is nearly in sight as you head up river with the dam in the distance. The race ends back at the Downstream Recreation Area where it began.
