COURSE INFO
The Delaware Water Gap…the scenic Delaware River framed by thousand foot hillsides, steeped in Native and Early American History, inspiring throughout. In the mid 1900's active communities through the Gap were claimed on behalf of a planned hydroelectric dam project. Public, environmental activist, and political resistance to the project, paired w/ a finding of proximity to a geologic fault line halted the project and the land was transferred to public hands as a National Recreation area.
The course will me marking with pink flagging and some arrows, staying on the McDade trail. There are few turns and this mainly flat and fast out and back is a great course to lay down a PR, or dabble in your first ultra.
