Hey, I'm looking at doing this race, but I was curious - how much does entry in the 10 hour race cost?
ReplyDeleteWemseries.com has all the registration and series info.
DeleteCan you provide updated trail conditions here tomorrow after it rains tonight? How dry will the race course be on Saturday?
ReplyDeleteThe course is solid and the rain runs right off so last night's rain shouldn't be a factor. We're blowing the leaves off today so it should dry. I'll post if conditions change.
