Description:
One of our classics is back in action, this time starting from the JPL dirt lot! Soak in the shade during the mostly flat but rocky run to the Brown Mountain Dam and back (short run) or climb up El Prieto and Brown Mountain road before descending Ken Burton (which can feel very stuffy on a hot day) then snagging that shade for the last few miles on the long run. There are plenty of stream crossings for all, too!
Please be sure to bring along plenty of water and fuel as there is only a water fountain about a mile from the finish.
