Subject: RE: Tell me about Pigman Long Course Bike and Run Routes so this is how it all goes down. the bike starts at the park and you make your way down probably the biggest hill of the whole course at the beginning. remember it well, as you need to go back up it to get to the run. the rest of the course has lots of rollers so you don't get bored, but nothing too outrageous. the run course is like running across a giant bunt cake pan. you run to the top at the park, all the way down when you come out, pretty much flat until just before the turn around where there is a little hill up. then you turn around and run back. yes, back up that big hill. both the bike and run feature typically iowa country side, big open fields will little shade. that august sun can make things down right muggy, so be sure to bring water and salt. the aid stations are pretty good and the volunteers work hard. i think they have ecaps and ice on the run. it is a great race, enjoy. oh, and hopewell, sorry i never followed up on leading you through the bike. i am a horrible horrible sherpa. |
