EVENT
Granogue Games is an inaugural FATASS format, trail run. Run as many laps as you want of this 10k loop within 7 hours. You can even squeeze in half laps. This is your chance to run these beautiful, private trails that are fan favorites of local OFF-Road racers. Our event is intended as a great way to get your pre-season training miles in for your upcoming races!

COURSE
It’s a beauty. We have crafted a 6-mile, figure 8 marked loop with about 600′ of elevation gain without any long sustained climbs. The course is situated on a 550 acre private Estate that is NOT open to the public except on run day. Spectacular views on high of pastureland, the Brandywine Creek, ponds, water towers, a greenhouse and these rolling hillsides all overlooking the Brandywine valley will make you forget about the pain. The perfect combo of twisty-turny, ups and downs with an occasional gravel road to make up some time on! A trail runners perfect day in the woods. Course could be considered somewhat technical in spots. Still, a typical trail runners course featuring sections of scattered rocks and roots, a mix of grass & gravel. We eliminated several water crossings but added a slight boulder climb to scamper over. The course is 90% single track. You may wanna pack your gators ‘cause if we have light snow accumulation we’ll be running!
