No drop run/job; moderate pace trail run with ~900 ft elevation; perfect for those training for Garden of the Gods (10 mile); Barr Trail or Pikes Peak Ascent type trail runs; some running on gravel roads without traffic; single track multi-use trails.

Bring water; sun screen; pace will adjust to weather; trail conditions; group pace.  

The route elevation gain is primarily in the beginning 1-2.5 miles and the return route will be more single track multi-use trail.
