Start/Finish: Dunbar Brook Picnic Area on River Rd. on the Monroe/Florida town line
(click here for directions and map).
Course: This area is considered to have some of the most beautiful scenery in the East. Peak fall
colors, stands of old growth hemlocks, waterfalls, brook crossings, bear, moose and eagles are just a few of the
things that this deep, remote valley and its high peaks have to offer. And that''s just getting to the starting
area! The 10.5 miler consists of a rolling one mile single track along the brook, followed by a steep climb
for approx. ½ mile. The course then climbs gradually on a mixture of single track and fire roads to the
summit of Spruce Peak (approx.6 miles & the highest point on the course). The rest of the run is nearly all
gradual downhill on single track. At 9 ½ miles the runners must cross the brook (usually knee deep) and
arrive at the rolling one mile single track along the brook to the finish. All within the Monroe State Forest.
The 2 miler consists of the rolling one mile single track along the brook and returns.
