This is a course map on Strava. Half Marathoners complete two loops of this course. You are able to view the course and elevation, as well as download a GPX file from this link to use with your running watch. 

Most of the course winds along single-track trails, but don’t worry—there are plenty of spots to pass. The trails are semi-technical, with moderate root- and rock-filled sections, yet it’s the climbs that will really challenge you.

Be aware: There is extensive leaf coverage on the trail obscuring roots and rocks. (As of November 10)

Hiking poles are recommended.
