A lot of up. A lot of down. A lot of rocks. A lot of creeks. A lot of waterfalls. A lot of bluffs. A lot of beauty. A lot of pain. A lot of fun.
This is a serious race. It's not at high elevation but it's hard. And it's a lot of elevation gain. If it's cold and damp it can be just as dangerous as a higher elevation race. Approach it like the "mountain" race it is. Even though geophysicists and geomorphologists often disagree on what makes a mountain. Most Geophysicists say mountain building requires a tectonic event, the geomorphologists often say it's all about relief. The Ozarks have plenty of the latter.
