A few short miles south of the city, the Brandon Hills tower above the surrounding farmland. Equally beautiful and cruel (to the unacclimatized flatlander) singletrack trails weave throughout this impressive landscape, and play host to the annual Race the North Face.

I raced the course in 2022, and both thoroughly enjoyed the race and was humbled by it. It’s a great test of pacing and endurance, and the flowy trails are a real treat.

Above is my take on the course. Which other “points of interest” should be added?
