/> Be aware there are two spots where the Championship course goes left and the Sprint course splits off right. One is shortly after the mile 6 aid station and the other just after mile 15. Course will be extremely well marked a just make sure to follow the BLUE arrows and not any of the GREEN ones for the Mountain Bike Course.


After finishing Mountain Biking, head out of transition following Red Arrows for the 6.5 miles Trail Run. The run course features amazing views as it encircles Wawayanda Lake. The course is a series of rolling hills with no killer climb, but plenty of rocky goodness and water crossings to keep racers sharp.
