I pre road some of the route in the summer. At about the 6KM mark on the Big Lake trail, I lost trail and couldn't figure out how to continue. Will it be marked well for the race?
[Reply]

Hey Thirsty, you will need to follow the GPS track from Trailforks. The course has been marked with green ribbons. Hope this helps
