NOTE: The trails for this event are unmarked. It is strongly advised you run this event with either a veteran or after having thoroughly previewed/run the sections of the 50K or 50M course thoroughly. Otherwise you WILL get lost, frustrated, become starved and eventually be consumed by creatures of the Blue Hills 🙂
