Additional Information
Wheeled vehicles prohibited on course
Due to the narrow, steep, winding roads wheelchairs and baby joggers are not permitted in this event. There are abrupt drop-offs, deep eroded streambeds, and old quarrys that border the course. Losing control of any wheeled vehicle on the 20%+ grades is easy and potentially deadly.
New Course for 2012
We had to change the classic DDH course due to an ongoing construction project. This year the course map may be found at: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5496220
