$Blue Sky Marathon\/Half Preview Run$

Come out for a free, casually-paced preview of *most* of the Blue Sky Marathon & Half Marathon courses, starting from the Blue Sky Trailhead.
We will have plenty of Gnar Team Members out helping lead routes & pace groups - Michelle Flenner, Michelle Foster, Joe & Catherine Huyett & Sophie Anders. This is a largely self-guided run with friends - there will not be course markings.
For marathoners, you'll preview the full south section of the course, 17.5mi mostly out & back down Blue Sky, around Indian Summer, and the Laughing Horse & Hunter loops:

For half marathoners, you've got 8mi out & back on the Blue Sky Trail to show you the majority of your planned fun. The turnaround will be where the Indian Summer North Aid will be located on race day:

There is NOT water on this route (or at the trailhead) - plan accordingly. There is a spigot at the RV fill station on Shoreline drive around the corner from the trailhead.
