The course was a classic cross country course: muddy, extremely hilly, some small river crossings and great trails. The finish was just past the Kinsman Falls right along the Kinsman dam lake. Arguably the most scenic and challenging course in the Midwest. The final 1.2 kilometers of the race is visible from the finish line.
