About the Waverly Winter Warrior
The course starts near a playground parking lot and heads toward a lake before dropping into the trail network. From there it follows the rightmost paths through a series of named loops, staying on singletrack for most of the route. Bright colored markers go up throughout, so navigation is straightforward even on unfamiliar trails.
Packet pickup happens on-site at the same parking lot where the race starts, with enough time before the gun to sort your bib. Parking is tight, so carpooling is worth planning ahead. An aid station sits roughly halfway through the course. Water and packaged snacks are out at the finish.
