Highlights: fall leaf color, six opportunities to sneak a glimpse of Looking Glass - an iconic granite dome, singletrack that'll wow you, stupendous ridge running, and a variety of ecosystems.

The Course Rundown:
You'll want to be sure you're warmed up for a long steep climb up right out of the gate to the course high point of Black Mountain at 4,200'.  After topping out here and letting out a woot, you'll hit some rocky and rooty ridge running that leads you to the route's namesake Clawhammer Mountain.  One of the best vantage points for views is along this rocky section.  More ridge running and a brief steep descent drops you at the first aid station.  After this, you'll climb again up where along the way you're rewarded with your second amazing viewpoint of Looking Glass Rock. 

You'll be relieved to head down Barnett Branch trail through rhododendron tunnels and along a rushing creek.  Once you hit the pink beds - an area named for the loads of pink rhododendron flowers in the summer - you'll be greeted with a reprieve for your quads with some flatter miles.  You'll traverse wetlands over boardwalks and cross a few creeks.  Unless it's been especially rainy, you should be able to keep your feet dry utilizing bridges at the creek crossings. 

​The easier miles continue as you'll complete a gravel road section of the course along Yellow Gap Road.  This leads you to your second aid station.  You'll continue downhill on Wolf Ford Road that leads to the South Mills River trail where you'll hear and see the bold, rushing river to to your right.  More undulating trail leads to a low grade climb up Buckhorn Gap trail leading you to the third aid station (same spot as the first).
