Yes Russell almost all of the trail sections are single track. Some of these trails are very rocky, roots are always of concern on trail runs, there are 4 stream crossings. There is one very unique section of maybe 1/4 mile involving hopping on and around large house-size boulders.

I see that you describe 70% of the run as trail. Is that narrow single track? Also, in these sections are there rocks and boulders like the Appalachian trail? Thanks.

I am running the Highland Sky 40 miler.My wife is also coming with me and has asked me if there is volunteer work for her to do while I run.I have looked over the web site and can’t find a volunteer page.She did this at the Capon Valley 50k this year.She likes to see me off at the start and then be taken to an aid station and help out.She is also a nurse so is handy fixing boo boos.Her name is Allyson Hosman let me know if she could be of use.

Scattered Thunderstorms? I guess it just adds to the story of my 1st Ultra… My guess is I’ll keep a rain jacket in my drop-bag, as the first half of the course sounds like it is mostly covered…

That would be nice, I will be staying at the resort on Friday night only, but wondering that if you are a guy, it wouldn`t be comfortable.
Anyway, If you don`t mind & I don`t mind, you might think about it and let me know a.s.a.p. ( As long as the room has two beds.)

Wondering if anyone else is debating a rain jacket based upon the forecast which is not so great at this point?

I would love to stay there and split the cost of the room. So, Doug, (and Dan). Let me know if you have found other lodging or if you would be willing to split a room there. Thanks.
