The race will begin just west of Estes St across from the Stone House Park on Bear Creek in Lakewood. It will head west mostly on dirt trails through the creek side trees with a short piece on the Bear Creek bike path. Near the Fox Hollow golf course the route crosses Bear Creek 3 times (with 3 more times for the return) to the west end of the Stone House trail, heads north around and over the Bear Creek Lake Dam, and back to Mt Carbon in Bear Creek Lake park. After climbing over Mt Carbon the return is back on the Stone House trail. The distance will be approximately 8.4 miles.
