This 10 km has it all! Starting with a flat section of a couple hundred meters on Wierenga flats to get in position a sharp turn and your onto a single track climbing up the valley side. If you’re not out of breath, you’ll want to spin those legs a little faster on the old wagon road even though it’s sandy and you’re still gaining elevation. Now is the time to gain some speed as the single track arrives quickly. Lots of ups and downs on this smooth single track bombing through the aspens and pine. Hit Central Staging Area and continue on a curvy single track till you descend to Clear Water Creek. Water churning and legs burn’in as you run along side it. Keep a watchful eye as you bounce through the forest as beavers practice their skills here. Where the Clear Water meets the Athabasca, legs are skipping as you’ve reached some grassy trail going up river to the finish.
