Course Description
As you leave Big Bear Village, you will quickly climb to your highest point of the course at 8,000 ft. After your ascent, you will enjoy the views as you run along the ridgeline. Soak in the scenery and revel in the flowy single track as you tick off those miles. The final 3 miles are a cruise down Knickerbocker Road, a dirt road above the town of Big Bear Lake with views of the lake to take in while you finish your trail run.
