November 30, 2023 by EdgeofMountain Leave a comment

This is a free duathlon-bike-then-run race event.
Ride: 14ish mile/2125 feet climb
Run: 5.7ish mile/750 feet climb loop trail run.
The start/finish is at the Roanoke Mountain Campground/picnic area. Mass start in the campground on bikes.
We will take a left out of the campground onto Mill Mountain Parkway, then we will do the Mill Mountain Loop (down the new road and up the old road)
After the Star and at the bike statues, turn right on Mill Mountain Parkway. Go past the Campground and do the Roanoke Mountain loop (up the South-“good” side to the summit and down the North-“bad”/back side. When finished with Roanoke Mountain, go back to the campground to finish bike portion.
Once at the Campground we will lock our bikes up and put our running shoes on. We will run the 5.5ish Chestnut Ridge Loop counterclockwise. Start and end of the loop will be from a designated spot-(near Peakwood) in the campground. Once you finish running the loop you will be done (if you do not know the regular CRL loop then you need to learn it..it will not be marked). We will keep track of total elapsed time and rank everyone.

**There will be a safety meeting before we start. We do not want to be speeding down the steep descents period, plus there will be pedestrians, cars etc out on this route. You should treat the downhill descents as a careful completion and focus on the other parts for speed.
