Saddle up for a roll through Hades!  Yep, it'll be July in Central Virginia and that means one thing - the finish line will have ice-cold refreshments waiting for you.  While this course plays no favorites and has plenty of rollers to keep you guessing, you'll have shade on your run as you traverse the scenic trails at Walnut Creek Park.
