Pro tips

  1. 01

    Point-to-Point Logistics

    The course runs point to point from Ashland to Medford, so arrange your ride to the start in Ashland and plan how you'll return from the Medford finish.

    From the layout

  2. 02

    Early Gun

    With a 06:50 start, set your alarm and transport plans for an early departure; warm up before the gun rather than rushing from a distant parking spot.

    From the start time

  3. 03

    Mild Fall Running

    Typical race-day temperature is 14.8°C, so dress for mild conditions and have a layer for before the 06:50 start.

  4. 04

    Downhill and Fast

    The description calls this a downhill, fast course on the Bear Creek Greenway; settle into goal pace early and let the downhill work for you without overstriding.

    BQ Chase

    Ranked as one of the fastest Boston Qualifiers in the Northwest, the Rogue is set up for a personal best; run controlled even effort and save something for the finish.
