This is the planned route for the 2018 edition of the Sun to Stars 8-Hour Race. This is the same route that was used in 2017. Minor updates from 2016 include swapping out the old beaver dam, and adding in the new twisty/turny singletrack at the beginning of the Eagle (just the bits on the flat). The classic Rattlesnake experience is still in the race course, as is Weasel. Top riders may be able to clear the course in about 20 minutes, but most riders will be closer to 30 minutes per lap. Course length is 6.5km, with 80m climb per lap (feels like more, with multiple small climbs).
