High Alpine Half Starting and finishing at Mt Bachelor this new for 2012 course will not disappoint. Taking place on some really scenic sections of the 50k course runners will be treated to Hemlock forests, mt views, and some breathtaking alpine meadows. This course is not to be missed.

I really like the style of your writing. I’m an aspired mtb writer.. Looking forward to some more of your articles!
Even if you can’t publish an exact map, can you provide a rough idea of max elevation and elevation gain?
Yes, I agree with George: some estimate of the elevation gain would be really helpful for my training. Thanks!
Superdave…..
You have an elevation profile for this race yet?
– Justin
Tried to email you 3 times with no success. Course map is viewing fine for me so I have no answer for that. Elevation is about 3800′ of climbing.
prize money from the USATF?
Yes. Total purse of $2000. Top three overall M/F and masters overall M/F

Thanks for a great course Super Dave! It was awesome! Also, thanks to the great support on the trails as well- Colleen the fuel was great!
thanks for a great race Superdave! Awesome course and great volunteers!
It was a great first ultra for me! I wanted to acknowledge all of your volunteers at the aid stations — they were so helpful and happy — it was a joy to come up to each and every station knowing I would be taken care of. You also had a prefect spread of drinks and snacks. I also wanted to acknowledge the work you all put into making the race fun. Looking forward to it next year! THANKS!!!
