Timberline Trail Running Club has taken over the Great NW Mt Run for X-Dog Events,
renaming it the Timberline Mt Run. Race check-in and registration starts at 8:30am upstairs, on the outside patio
of the Wy'East Day Lodge.

The route should changed slightly last year, because of construction behind Wy'east
Lodge. But, here is a Garmin
map of the 2011 course. The mileage isn't that accurate on this take,
as the ravine loses satellite reception, but you get a good idea of the altitude and elevation.

The race will cover 6 to 8 miles of diverse and challenging terrain including
roads, trail, and natural mountain slopes.There will be some significant elevation gain and loss. There will be
one water aid station on the course (weather and access permitting) located approximately half-way, at the turn-around
at the top.
Awards will be given to the top three overall, top masters, and first place in each age group. The awards ceremony
will on the patio, upstairs at the Day Lodge, overlooking the finish line, around 12:30pm.
In addition, there will be Team awards. The categories are Women's (all female), Mixed (less than 50% male), and
Men's / Open. Scoring will be a combination of placement and participation, so the larger your team, the better
chance you have of winning.
The event starts at an altitude of 6,000 feet. There is more than 1,000 acres of terrain at Timberline, including
4,000 feet of vertical options. The ski area offers some of the most epic runs in the Northwest.
