Story
@Challengers By Pete-ular demand (no, he suggested nicely), I’ve moved the start of the Tortoise & Hare course to the end of the parking lot where it becomes the Buttermilk Falls Campground Access Road. That way people don’t have to run through the parking lot at the start and finish while cars are pulling in and out.
This makes the course slightly shorter at 5.2 miles, but it’s also different from the 2021 course by virtue of the bridge at the top of the lake being washed out, so the two years aren’t really comparable anyway.
I’ve redone the RunGo directions because the voice wasn’t giving me turns at all (though it said other things), and I suspected corruption due to the fact that the elevation map was also wrong. So if you’re going to run this course, be sure to get the new Tortoise & Hare (FLRC Challenge course) directions in RunGo. The GPX file is also new, as is the new start photo.
And yes, I actually ran this today as well—slowly, and my knees didn’t like the downhill, but I’ll take it!
