2025 Rain Route for the Bike Event

Due the rain and storms we have received recently, and additional rain anticipated in the area over the next two days, we will be utilizing the rain route. The GPX file can be found here, with the course being TWO loops of this route. It's the same route as the 15k run.

This is the first time EVER the Army Rangers have opened the Montgomery Creek trail to the public for a race! This course is a blast to run and has an amazing waterfall along the route. You will not want to miss this one!
