About the Holiday Hustle
The course runs out and back along Loch Raven Drive beside the reservoir, and depending on which end they start from, runners may or may not face a notable hill. The road is scenic either way, tracing the waterline through what feels like a proper winter morning in the woods.
After the race, everyone moves to McFaul's Iron Horse Tavern, just at the corner where Loch Raven Drive meets Cromwell Bridge Road. The brunch spread is substantial, eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits, bagels, fruit, and hot drinks. Parking is in the lot behind the restaurant, not the upper lot on Cromwell Bridge Road.
