The course
Fall colors, flowing singletrack and a finish line party.
The DC Peaks 25K takes you through the stunning Mueller Park area, covering the final 15 miles of our 50-mile route. The course follows the trail system Davis County built in 2021: groomed singletrack with a maximum grade of 14% and an average grade of 6%. Approximately 2,000’ of total elevation gain.
There is one full aid station at mile 9.5. To reach it, take a right and descend 0.4 miles down a steep path. The climb back out is a bit tough, but once you’re back on the main trail you’ll be cruising.
At mile 13.1, watch for a hard right. It takes you through Wild Rose Park and onto the road. Turn left and follow the road for 0.7 miles to the finish. Great job—you did it!
Pick an aid station on the map, in the list or on the elevation chart to fly to that section and see what it takes to get there. Crew access No crew
Map is for planning only — use the official GPX on race day. Section gain and descent are from the race team (≈ marks approximate numbers).
