Course: Basically unchanged from last year: a 2 km loop described by John Elgart as "one of the best courses we have in NorCal,"  consisting of a pavement climb, hard pack fire roads, bumpy doubletrack, several dismounts, a 20-meter runup and a 50-m up-and-down running section.  Possible mud depending on weather.  Elevation gain is about 150 feet per lap. Spectators enjoy a panoramic view of the Napa Valley from the top of the course.

We have pictures and results from last year's event.
