Vegetation
There are significant logged areas, but they have been well-mapped. There are also areas of dark green which fit the description of “fight” in terms of runnability. Vegetation (runnability/visibility) still needs to be reviewed for growth over the past two years.
Trails
There is a trail network on the map.
Terrain
The map area covers a hillside. Contours are very reliable. There are some areas of complex contours. Courses 4 and 6 through 11 can expect climb as noted in the chart above. Careful navigation to use the best areas of runnability could be important.
Water Features
Water features are fairly reliable.

Please be respectful of other park users.
Water
There will be water at the start and finish.
