For those who are familiar with Ski Roundtop:

We'll be over by the Lodge at the bottom of the Exhibition slope. Set up a spot for your stuff at the base of the tubing slope. We'll start at the Lodge, run behind the Lodge and across the parking lot about half a mile, go up Minuteman/Lower&Upper Lafayette about half a mile, across the top, then down Ramrod/Exhibition about half a mile so your whole crew can watch. The Lodge will be open with an awesome view from the patio - the slope down will be lit!

For those not familiar with Ski Roundtop:

We'll have a Start/Finish next to a ski lodge. The Lodge has bathrooms and plenty of space for your whole crew inside or outside to come and watch. You'll have about half a mile of flat, half a mile up a ski slope, then half a mile down a ski slope. Your crew will have a great view of you running downhill to the finish with a lighted downhill.

And, the required details....

- Headphones are allowed when used responsibly, but this event will be more fun without!
- Headlamps/lighting is required. Parts of the course are lighted and parts are not. Many people find that poles are very helpful for the descent on this course.
- Leave no trace - Absolutely NO litter bugs allowed!
- Bib must be clearly visible on the front of the body
- NO course cutting
- You'll sign a waiver on registration, and I'll have you sign another waiver for the venue upon arrival. Pretend you're famous and sign all the things.
- I can't do deferrals, refunds, or transfers. A lot of work goes into the race, and we work hard to keep the cost low.
- NO BANDITS!

Lastly, random details....

- Hit me up if you want to volunteer. It might just be more fun than running it!
- This race is part of the York Ridge Runners Trail Series and will result in series points.
- This is a great training run for Labor Pains or any September race! Get some practice in the night and make new friends.
