COURSE MAPS

NOTE: Your GPS watch may show your distance as significantly shorter than advertised and your footpod may show your distance as slightly longer than advertised. While impossible to create trail courses with exact distances, it is important to us to design courses for you that are close as possible to the advertised distances. The courses were measured using calibrated bike computers and then compared to the trail section distances that were measured by the USNWC Trail Staff to confirm accuracy. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
