The Creature has slithered out of the depths of Carvins Cove once again and is back with a vengeance. This year we will be upping the ante on production, prizes, and of course post race festivities. We're is super stoked at how well the Enduro turned out last year and has a few surprises for this year. As always long, hard, 42 mile XXC (XC Marathon) racing on the course deemed "The Creature" will be grueling, hideous, and wonderful.
