You run, climb, and probably shuffle along almost entirely single track trails straight up Rock Candy Mountain, the coolest named hill in the area. In just a little over 3 miles you climb 2,000ft to reach the summit. And yes, the actual summit. There, collect your high-fives, and head back down while greeting some poor folks still fighting the uphill climb - cheer them on, as you will be back there soon enough.
This race is not for the faint of heart, but the steep and gnarly route over roots, rocks and a stream crossing will make anyone smile, or maybe cry.
A brand new trail running adventure in Olympia, Washington. Let's go hunting for VERT in the Capitol Forest.
