Distance:7 miles
Elevation Gain:1238.05 feet
As Red Loop runners, you might feel like you’re on your own island, you’ve split from the Green and Yellow runners quickly after leaving the Village and you’re heading in the complete opposite direction, but not to worry, before you’ve even gone a mile, you’ll be re-joined by your Yellow Loop counter parts for half a mile. As Yellow turns off to finish their loop, you’ll continue farther south, heading out of Centennial Park, through a small neighborhood and crossing a main road to get over to get a taste of Kessler Mountain. As you re-enter the Kessler woods, you’ll be greeted with an amazing climb, amazingly tough, that is. With spots that have over 30% incline, embrace your inner mountain goat and get at it! When you reach the top, catch your breath and revel in the knowledge that what goes up must go down, which means you have some really fun and fast downhill single track ahead of you to take you back to the entrance to Kessler Mountain. From there, you’ll retrace your steps across the road, through the neighborhood and at just around the 5 mile mark, you’ll be finished with the lollipop section and pushing to the top of the hill, you’ll be re-joined by your Yellow Loop friends as you make your way to the finish line.
