Course Information

The Soul Run course is a divine mix of single track and double track. It'll take you as high as the heavens and to lows hot enough to be confused with other steamy climates less desirable. No less, the experience will leave you in a state of bliss when it's all over.

The Soul Run shares the same course as the 30-mile Soul Ride mountain bike event (give or take a couple miles). Sharing the course is intended to enrich the experience of those who delve into the depths of this soulful trail celebration.
