Below is a quote from one of the 2010 participants, Julie Young- owner of o2fitness. She is a former U.S. National Team member and pro cyclist who currently competes in triathlons and trail runs.
"The temperature was perfect, the course provided an interesting mix of single track and double track trails which mid-way opened to sweeping views of Martis Valley. The course also afforded rhythmic runnable uphill terrain. After catching my breath - it was an amazing day to take in Mt. PLuto's 360 degree views of Castle Peak, Lake Tahoe and Martis Valley. What a setting for the lively friendly post-race awards and raffle."
