The Owls Roost Rumble is an awesome opportunity for both first timers and experienced racers alike to take on the watershed trails on The Northeast side of Greensboro. These trails are always kept in great shape and offer a variety of difficulty levels on the trails. The race commences at Bur Mil Park and starts with the very wide but hilly Big Loop Trail. Athletes will use the greenway to make their way onto the namesake trail Owls Roost. This mountain bike trail is rooty, and hilly but offers picturesque views of Lake Brandt. Once athletes have finished traversing Owls Roost trail they will have a brief reprieve from single track, as they use the A and Y Greenway to get to Nat Greene Trail. Much like Owls Roost, there are plenty of roots on this section. After completing Nat Greene, athletes will make their way on Lake Brandt Drive over to Piedmont Trail. Runners are rewarded here as this trail is much less and also less rooty. This Northern section of the course stays very close to Lake Brandt. Athletes near the finish at this point, and only have to complete the section of Big Loop they did at the beginning before crossing the finish line and celebrating a job well done!!
