The 4 mile loop course starts at the Snively Trail parking lot, proceeds gradually uphill the wide gravel Snively Trail along Amity Creek. Runners can stretch out here and warm up the legs on the gradual ascent. The course then turns sharp left off of the Snively Trail after about 1.5 miles onto a grassy trail with a narrow worn dirt singletrack path. After a short rise and gradual descent, the course then turns left onto the COGGS Hawk Ridge Mountain Bike trail at about mile 1.9, crossing Skyline Parkway at mile 2.0 after a short jog through the woods. The aid station will be here on Skyline Parkway. After crossing Skyline Parkway, proceed on the up and down rolling singletrack Hawk Ridge Trail to the finish line. The Hawk Ridge Trail is a challenging path with rocks and hills and tremendous views. After dropping down the switchbacks, cross Skyline to the finish line in the parking lot.
