The course will start at the Al Bahr Shrine Camp (Mount Laguna, CA); run along the west side of Little Laguna Lake and immediately connect with the Laguna trail. The course runs along the East side of Big Laguna Lake and continues to Penny Pine. The Course then goes down & then back up Noble Canyon, loops around the PCT, reconnects with the Lagunas, and finish back at the Al Bahr Shrine Camp. Some have described it as a lollipop shaped course.
