This out and back course will take you up the road from the school for 1/2 mile and then into the beautiful LPNF, through covered, well maintained fire road and over (hopefully through) 2 creek crossings. You will turn around at 3.1 miles at a perfectly placed (just for us) bouldered aide station. Make sure you take a look around the valley AND look up! There are the Topa Topa bluffs and where your 30k friends are running to, and around. Take a breath and now you get to finally run back downhill for 3.1 miles back to the school. Wooohoo!
