South – heading to Oronoco

This is a fairly flat paved out-and-back route along the Mount Vernon Trail. There are no major elevation gains along the route.

Back of the Pack time: 11:00
What is the Back of the Pack (BOTP)?  It is not a cut off time, it is actually a series we have geared towards people who average higher than the BOTP listed above.  This allows runners of similar pace to compete with each other and get series points. Visit Bishop’s events FAQ for more information about this and other questions you may have.  https://bishopsevents.com/series-faqs/
