Kittens Course

STAGE 1
Miki's Magic - we know this trail isn't your typical enduro style trail but it's a fast flowy perfect way to get the race jitters out and pay tribute to an incredible past HOYH racer, Micayla Martin

STAGE 2
Lower Lumbar / All About Yew - a new cruisy trail to the Squamish network

STAGE 3
Another Man's Gold - Fast and fun and always a favourite. We will wrap up the finish line just before it joins with Airplane Mode

STAGE 4
Hoods in the Woods - a staple of HOYH but it's had a bit of a facelift over the past few years. It's a bit tech, nothing too difficult. If you only have time to session 1 trail of the race course, this is it.
