Course Description 
The 3 courses will be the same as last year.  The Little Apple (50K) is one lap of the traditional 88% gravel course.  The Kong (100K) is also the same, made up of 1 long continuous course. The King Kong (150K) is the Grande Dame of the weekend. You'll be doing the Little Apple course and No Man's Land course. This is very challenging and roughly 80% gravel. You, your kit, and your bike will need to be Present and Correct. Think of this as self-supported. The winner (both male and female) will be crowned King Kong, Queen Kong, a title they will keep until the following year where they will have to defend it.
