This course winds in and around the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve (LSCR) on moderately technical trails. There are some hills, but they are not overly challenging. Roots, logs and rocks can be extremely slippery this time of year so please use caution. Note: If in doubt at an intersection, stay on the larger, more travelled trail! This is a Club Fat Ass event so the course is environmentally friendly and is not marked, so please make sure you print out this course description (scroll down for a printer friendly version) and bring it and a plastic baggie to protect it with you on the day of the run. Better yet, train on the course and bring the directions!
