Our First Challenge(s):

We obviously like Downhill Miles. How about Uphill Miles? We’ve had a dream of a downhill mile at Umstead for awhile, so it’s now live! But why not go back up? Easy enough, right?

So we’ll giveaway a free entry to the Raleigh RunDown Downhill Mile for the fastest man and woman on the Umstead Downhill Mile and Umstead Uphill Mile segments over the next month (4 total). Want to train for the Raleigh RunDown Downhill Mile, that Strava segment is here. Start and finish information is below, with rules at the bottom.

Points of reference (where to start/finish):
