YELLOW PIN FLAGGING
-
The 30K starts by taking the JHMR trails across the hillsides. Head up the Wildflower trail from the start, connecting to the Tram Line and onto the Lower Face Loop to Lower Hoback. Cross the mountain on the Seven Bridges trail to Saratoga.
Make your way up the bike trails to the top of the Casper chair lift. Fuel up — from here, you climb up the Holey Moley trail and reach a service road. Connect back to the trail reaching the top of the Bridger Gondola. Take the Cirque Trail and reach the summit of Rendezvous Mountain (Top of the World, Corbet’s Cabin Waffles). Take in the views before working your way down the Rendezvous mountain trail, connecting back to and descending down the Holey Moley trail (yes, the one you just climbed up). Enjoy the ride as you descend down to the finish line on the Wildflower trail.
Please note the course is subject to minor changes depending on resort construction.
All changes will be communicated via email and covered in the Athlete Briefing on Friday (highly encouraged).
