About the course
- A mix of pavement and dirt that climbs from the valley in Beaver into the Tushar Mountains and finishes uphill at Eagle Point.
- Weather at the start is very different from the finish: the course climbs thousands of feet.
- Weather: Mid-July means hot afternoons in the valley and much cooler air up high, with a chance of afternoon thunderstorms in the mountains. Wildfire smoke and closures are a risk in a dry summer.
