Lope for Loons 6K Trail Race
The course goes up the ski hill right at the start. It then winds down the hill and around to North Pointe woods for mile 1 and nearly 2. Coming back we will come by the ski lodge again through a single track and water station and head towards the ice rink and up the back side single track trails. The last mile is down and around North Pointe woods and back to the finish at the lodge where we start. Expect steep terrain, single tracks, two tracks, roots, grass, and a bit (not much) of sand.
