Geocache Description:

This cache is placed at a memorable spot along the Mt Mitchell Challenge race course.

The Mt Mitchell Challenge is a 40-mile ultra marathon that begins at dawn in the cold of winter in Black Mountain and follows icy trails to the 6,684' summit of Mount Mitchell - eastern America's highest point - then returns to Black Mountain's Lake Tomahawk. With a starting altitude of 2,360', the elevation gain for this 40-mile run is 4,324' - in the first 20 miles. You can read more about this race at (visit link)

This cache is located within eyesight of the finish line, which race organizers setup near a wooden bridge that crosses the edge of the lake. Every runner yearns to see and run around Lake Tomahawk while hearing the crowds cheer him or her to the finish. This is by far one of the most enjoyable places along the race course.

The cache is hidden near the trail. Please rehide it EXACTLY as you found it so it is not susceptible to being seen by non-cachers.
