Mile 8.6–9.0
Late-route up-and-downs
A hard right, then left, starts a sustained sequence of marked climbs and descents near the finish.
Before you continue
Keep full trail discipline through Mile 9.0; fatigue makes this section easy to underestimate.
What catches people
Repeated pitch changes and route-finding combine rather than presenting one obvious obstacle.
Conditions change it
Low sun and congestion make symbols and blind crests harder to read.
Fit
The same low-range control and clearance required earlier.
