Course descriptions:
What's a HillBillyGoat? It's a BillyGoat style Long-O event in the tradition
of the old goats, but with the added
attraction of the first ever PYGMY GOAT, an orange-ish long course (7-9k)
for those competitors who like some good old-fashioned goat play, but who
lack the glutton-for-punishment attitude of die-hard goat addicts.
The LONG HILLBILLY GOAT (15-18k) will feature SLYE OLDE GOATE SNEAKINESS. Lose your followers by outsmarting them through a network of rogaine-style "windows".
For those who crave extra punishment, both the HillBilly Goat and Pygmy Goat courses will feature the gut-wrenching MOUNTAIN GOAT CHALLENGE, a trail-run leg that goes straight up a hill. Special awards to the top male and female runners on this leg.
Bring the whole family to the White and Yellow courses for the YOUNG GOATS (ah, we mean kids!) and anyone else who doesn't like long courses. Test your courage by taking on the OGRE who guards the bridge!
