Dancing T Route

Ventana Ranch West

Distance: 3.30 miles
Surface: Asphalt, Hills, Rolling
Elevation Gain: 170 feet

The Dancing T is a premier route that gets its name from its fanciful shape. Very little of the route is flat. You are either running uphill, downhill or over rolling terrain. It is a nice workout and you feel good when your done.

Dreams are free. Goals have a cost. While you can daydream for free, goals don’t come without a price. Time, Effort, Sacrifice, and Sweat.

How will you pay for your goals?
