All Races will start 600ft in the belly of Natural Bridge Caverns. The start will be a time trial start with an athlete starting every 5-8 seconds. There will be a few no pass zones in the cave which will be strictly enforced. No passing will be allowed on the switchback uphill path in the cave.
All runs will be on a caliche road (closed course) that is well maintained. All bike routes except the Sabertooth will be on asphalt country roads. The Sabertooth bike course will be off-road on jeep trails and single track.
The bike rides will be in the Texas hill country on rural roads. The 26 mile route has numerous challenging hills with the featured hill, Krueger Canyon.
Sabertooth Bike Course Video
The video is a little shaky (our first off-road bike video), but it shows most of the course (and even a downhill bike crash). We hope that you enjoy.
