After you reach the top, please have an easy jog down to Churchfork trailhead; or via the west face. Please be considerate of other runners and users on the trail.
The top may be icy or snowy- consider poles and spikes.
If you return via the Churchfork side, you can head back to the parking lot by jogging along Pipeline; or we will make sure to arrange a pick-up at the parking lot.
This is an UNOFFICIAL event - there is technically no race, because the forest service will not issue a permit, which means no official race, no insurance, etc. But- we hope to see you there (we'll be there :))
