I think most of you already know the answer to the second question, and if you don't it won't take long for you to
find someone that knows what we do and can answer it for you.
As for the first question, YES a trail Half at a ski resort. Our first year at this venue was such a success that we
couldn't imagine not hosting it for another go around. In fact it is such a tremendous beautiful and challenging
course and a spectacular venue that we've decided to offer a shorter distance for those looking to experience
trail running at its finest. Do not be fooled by the shorter distance. This is still a trail run at a ski resort, it is not
going to be an easy walk in the park.

Both races start from the summit of bristol mountain ski resort, located in Bristol, NY in the heart of the finger
lakes region. Each participant will receive a ride to the start line via the quad ski lift at Bristol Mountain.
Additional ride tickets will be available at a special rate for friends and family. From the start both races travel
over some ski slopes, old dirt roads, four-wheeler trails, single track, (Well to label these sections as close as
we can to what they are) improved bushwhacking, not to mention some areas that are Out Of Bounds. There
will be plenty of opportunity for aid on the course. We are placing another aid station in the half marathon
course at the top of climb. You may still want to carry your own fuel source.
We are working on a great post-race feed for this year.
